I downloaded DBI-1.37.tar.gz from CPAN, unpacked it, and built it with the usual steps:
% perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME && make test && make install
I added /opt/SUNWspro/bin (Sun Workshop Pro) to my PATH to get 'cc'; I think this is
probably the same compiler Perl was built with but I can't be certain. Anyway, it
compiled and linked, and went on to run tests. Two of them failed:
Failed Test Status Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/15array.t 34 1 2.94% 18
t/zz_15array_pp.t 34 1 2.94% 18
I don't think the choice of compiler actually matters, since I also tried building
with CC=gcc LD=gcc and got the same two tests failed.

What should I do to diagnose the problem? I didn't see any messages printed during
the test suite apart from 'failed' stuff.
