Thanks for the report.

Would you please look into why it's failing?
The perl test in the latest test release of sh-utils does essentially this:

  #!/bin/sh
  if ( perl -e 'require 5.003; use File::Compare' ) > /dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo ok
  else
    echo FAIL
  fi

Doesn't that work for you?

The latest test release is here:
