Aaargh.

ftp://plum.flirble.org/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/GBARR/perl5.005_03-MAINT_TRIAL_6.tar.gz

or any other CPAN mirror :-)

perl developers would be very happy if you make ok (or make nok) depending upon
success or failure of all tests. Should the gdbm test 12 fail or pass on
glibc2.1 ?

No further on my other 2. If it's not ARMLinux at fault it may be perl's
use of f(re)open(). [On Unix, fclose(stdin) followed by fopen() gets you the
FILE* of stdin. This is an implicit assumption perl makes. I keep saying this,
everyone ignores me]
