Hello, What's the motivation to install a version which is 21 years old ?
If you have an old code probably is better try to update it.

That said, those errors seem to be about unit tests rather than comiplation.You may be able to cd into the build dir and still run a `make install` to finish the installation, if you are willing to just ignore those errors. If those are all the errors in the lot, I imagine that most of the perl-5.8.0 would still work. -- Kang-min Liu
