I just did a build and test of the new perl 5.8.7 package. Build goes
w/o a hitch, but test reports two failures:

	lib/ExtUtils/t/basic......................#     Failed test 		
(../lib/ExtUtils/t/basic.t at line 135)
	FAILED at test 34

		.
		.
		.

	lib/ExtUtils/t/Install....................#     Failed test 		
(../lib/ExtUtils/t/Install.t at line 41)
	#          got: 'Skip blib/lib/Big/Dummy.pm (unchanged)
	# '
	#     expected: 'cp lib/Big/Dummy.pm blib/lib/Big/Dummy.pm
	# '
	FAILED at test 9


Looking in the test code, I see that the first failure is related to
perllocal.pod (which is no longer created by default for pkgsrc perl, as
I understand it). When I follow the suggestion at the end of the tests
and run

	./perl harness

I get more output for each failure, but no more information.

Any pointers or additional info appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
