I'm answering my own question.
I found the solution at: http://archive.dbforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=449191
The tests that were failing rely on the system's ability to resolve it's own domain name. Since I had renamed my computer (so that it will work with my employer's Perforce server), DNS could not resolve the name.
Setting the hostname to "localhost" and re-installing libwww-pm did the trick.

Hello;
I'm trying to build XMLTV using Fink 0.5.0a on Mac OS X 10.2.3, but am having no luck. The problem arises during the installation of libwww-perl. The errors arise from running "make test". I've attached the relevant console output to the end of this message.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
Tobias
