I followed steps above exactly but got stuck with the following two test failures: 
t/op/sprintf..............................FAILED--no leader found 
t/op/sprintf2.............................FAILED--expected 263 tests, 
+saw 3

The only thing done different on my box is the page.h location: 
> ls -l /usr/include/asm/page.h 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 2010-03-26 00:02 /usr/include/asm/page.h -> 
+/usr/local/rhel5.amd64/usr/include/asm-x86_64/page.h

And this is the file content: 
> ~/Downloads/perl.downgrade/perl-5.8.8$ cat /usr/include/asm/page.h 
#ifndef _X86_64_PAGE_H
#define _X86_64_PAGE_H


#endif /* _X86_64_PAGE_H */

Does anybody have an idea why those tests fails and how to fix them? Thanks a bunch!
