Perl unit tests fail for dbxml-2.5.16

Question

Hi,
I installed the berkeley db xml version 2.5.16 but while attempting to install perl, I came across the following errors when I run 'make test'
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, '../blib/lib', '../blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/btree.t .. 1/35 # Check simple env works with a hash.
# cursors
t/btree.t .. ok
t/dbt.t .... ok
t/txn.t .... # transaction - commit works
t/txn.t .... 1/28 # transaction - abort works
t/txn.t .... ok
All tests successful.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the patch! We'll take a look at that and try to improve the Perl installation in the next release.
