You shouldn't see the test failures you're seeing, except possibly
the ping_udp failure (not ping_upd). What procedure are you using to
compile perl? Did you accept all defaults during ./Configure? After
../Configure -des, 5.8.7 should compile out of the box on any recent
HP-UX. A few warnings during compilation are okay, but not massive
amounts. Test failures that aren't mentioned in a nearby readme are
a reason not to install.
