Probs Building Perl on HP-UX 11.23

[andrew.fabbro]

I'm working on building perl 5.8.8 on HP-UX 11.23. I'm using this
configuration...

CC=/opt/ansic/bin/cc Configure -Duselargefiles -Dusethreads -
Duse64bitall -de

....which was derived from the README.HPUX. The system is an Itanium-
based system.

I've made some good progress, but four tests always fail:

Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List
of Failed
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.../lib/ExtUtils/t/Constant.t 272 270 99.26% 3-272
.../lib/ExtUtils/t/PL_FILES.t 5 1280 9 5 55.56% 3-7
.../lib/ExtUtils/t/recurs.t 2 512 25 2 8.00% 6 14
.../lib/Net/Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t 2 1 50.00% 2
(2 subtests UNEXPECTEDLY SUCCEEDED), 30 tests and 258 subtests
skipped.
Failed 4/992 test scripts, 99.60% okay. 278/117588 subtests failed,
99.76% okay.

I am not building as root, as I do not have root on this system. I
looked at the .t files but the code is a bit beyond me...how best to
proceed? Looking for some bread crumbs.

Details below. Thanks.

Also, building perl on HP-UX 11.11 on a PA-RISC system also fails
510_ping_udp:
