I hope this makes it into 5.8.2, so finally, we will be able to test
binary distributions...
Maybe, while you are playing, you can address two more issues:
a) no Perl distribution should go out with
make minitest
failing. [This creates problems when miniperl is build wrong,
but the test suite for miniperl returns some noise, or would not
run at all.]
b) cd t; mv perl perl-hidden; PERL=`pwd`/perl-hidden ./pert-hidden TEST
should succeed (the last time I checked, some tests were not
paying attension to $PERL).
Yours,
Ilya
