Hello everyone,

Running 950322-SNAP...

I ran perl's TEST under /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/t and it fails 11 tests.  A
fresh compile from /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin doesn't help. 

I've gotten some really strange behavior out of the perl scripts we use 
for ftp-mirroring ("mirror.pl 2.3") and I hope this nails down the 
problem...

Is there a quick fix?  I can't quite get the standard 4.036 distribution 
to compile (I don't know the correct combination of configuration stuff)
