I built a brand-new Perl 5.8.3 on Mac OS X Panther Server in an attempt
to eradicate glitches in testing Perl6::Rules. My transcript is below.
The same errors occurred on Red Hat 9 under 5.8.3, too.

Damian says his builds on Panther are AOK. I am wondering if anyone
else has seen these problems and has fixed them?

Checking if your kit is complete...
