Dear Monks and friends of Monks, I am attempting to install perl on FreeBSD 4.9 and I have done the following things:

Unpacked the tarball:

gunzip -c stable.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

Ran the install process:

rm -f config.sh Policy.sh// exits 0
sh Configure -de // exits 0
make // exits 0
make test// error

Here is the error I recieved:

Failed 1 test script out of 797, 99.87% okay.
### Since not all tests were successful, you may want to run some of
### them individually and examine any diagnostic messages they produce
+.
### See the INSTALL document's section on "make test".
### You have a good chance to get more information by running
###   ./perl harness
### in the 't' directory since most (>=80%) of the tests succeeded.
### You may have to set your dynamic library search path,
### LD_LIBRARY_PATH, to point to the build directory:
###   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH `pwd`; cd t; ./perl harness
###   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH; cd t; ./perl harn
+ess
###   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`; cd t; ./perl harness
### for csh-style shells, like tcsh; or for traditional/modern
### Bourne-style shells, like bash, ksh, and zsh, respectively.

So I scrolled up and found the error in the giant list of completed tests:

lib/Net/t/hostname...................Use of uninitialized value in str
+ing eq at ../lib/Net/t/hostname.t line 39.
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at ../lib/Net/t/hostname.t lin
+e 39.

I followed the instructions and went to the "t" directory and called:

./perl harness// error

Here is the error I recieved:

Please oh mighty knowers of the Camel, how can I fix this?
