Hello, i am able to compile perltk 804.027 with both 5.8.7 and 5.8.8 in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. whenever i run "gmake test" only about 21% tests pass. i have been able to definitively say that it is related to the "update" method; does not seem to matter what the object is.

are other people able to compile on hp11 and run tests with most tests passing? is anyone able to spot what might be wrong in my config? other suggestions? thanks.
