} Bad news! I had no problems when running these tests on Linux or
} SunOS4. Can you provide more information?

Here's what happened to me today when I installed lwp5b7 just after
installing perl 5.002b3 on my Sun running 4.1.4:

leprss% make test
/usr/local/bin/perl -I./blib t/TEST 0
base/afm............ok
base/base64.........FAILED before any test output arrived
base/date...........FAILED before any test output arrived
base/entities.......ok
base/headers........FAILED test
        Failed 0/8 tests, 100.00% okay
base/html-parse.....ok
base/mailcap........FAILED test
        Failed 0/5 tests, 100.00% okay
base/mediatypes.....FAILED before any test output arrived
base/message........FAILED test
        Failed 0/5 tests, 100.00% okay
base/quoted-print...ok
base/robot-rules....ok
base/status.........ok
base/uri............FAILED before any test output arrived
local/autoload......ok
local/get...........ok
Failed 7/15 test scripts, 53.33% okay.
make: *** [test] Error 2

Some of them look a little bizzare (Failed 0/8 tests,...).
