perl3, PL4 test problems

[Alexander Vonk]

Dear perl - porters,

Does anyone have any problems with the perl tests. I seem to have a
strange problem, related with the 'compiler' (?) part of perl.
Any ideas (before I gonna dive into thousands of source code lines :-)?

Thanks in advance,

Here is a version info on perl, compiled on a IBM PC/RT with AIX 2.2.1:

$Header: perly.c,v 3.0.1.1 89/11/11 04:50:04 lwall Locked $
Patch level: 4

And the test errors I got (ok messages left out):
