Are you '/Users/rhult'?  I'm guessing not. Lots of test failures are
because files in that user's directory do not exist on your machine.

One thing about using Apple's Perl; if Apple decides to upgrade it,
things could break and there would be nothing for you to do but
recompile.  For this reason I prefer Perl from MacPorts.  Using
MacPorts also got me Perl 5.10 instead of Perl 5.8 (by hacking up the
Portfile for perl5 IIRC).
