Yes, I build my own perl, and have been doing so for years.

Yes, it passes 'make test'. If I have failures, I submit bug reports
or patches to p5p.

If you can code up what you want me to run, I'll do it and send back
the results. If you want me to do it, I'll try to figure out what
you're suggesting and see if I can get it coded up myself.
For the back and forth between us, it might be best to email each
other directly and not clutter up the bug report. We can put a
synopsis of the final outcome when we get there. Just a suggestion.
I'll also work on building a 5.14 perl to test this as well. (I was
on a hiatus for awhile.)
