Scott,
The best place to look for tips on building 5.6.0 is
<http://www.crinoid.com/perl560.htmlx>
where you will find a number of patches. I put together one very
large patch including those and more; you can get it at:
<http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/2000-05/msg00190.html >
There have been a number of test failures fixed, although I don't
recall seeing the ones you mention. You can search the archives of
this list at:
