In trying to get runtests to run against the core Perl test suite on a
freshly built download, I'm having a few difficulties.  'make test' says
this:

  u=5.02  s=4.72  cu=297.54  cs=98.73  scripts=934  tests=117325

This implies to me that we have 934 .t files in t/, lib/ and ext/.

'runtests' says this:

  Files=1002, Tests=104613, 963 wallclock secs (269.56 cusr + 78.56 csys =
348.12 CPU)

Fewer tests, but more test files?

'find' says this:

  perl-5.8.8 $ find t ext lib -name '*.t'|wc -l
  1002

So it appears that there really are 1002 .t files.  What gives?

Also, since I don't know makefiles terribly well, I can't figure out exactly
how the test suite is getting invoked.  That might help me with 'runtests'. 
Help?

Cheers,
Ovid
