I found difficulties while installation of PERL. I found following error
after running 'make test'.
(make test is one of the command to be executed while installation)

Failed 1 test script out of 190, 96.84% okay.

  ### If you are testing the compiler, then ignore this message

  ### Since most tests were successful, you have a good chance to

You may not have a "real" problem. One of the op/stat.t tests fails
in either Sun's tmpfs (often mounted on /tmp) or in ClearCase VOBS.
The "problem" is that those file systems don't update the times that
stat.t is checking in the same was a regular file systems do.
