 If you want to use Perl on the Hurd, I recommend using the Debian

 * Known Problems
 
-The Perl testsuite may still report some errors on the Hurd.  The
-`lib/anydbm.t' and `op/stat.t' tests will most certainly fail.  The
-first fails because Berkeley DB 2 does not allow empty keys and the
-test tries to use them anyway.  This is not really a Hurd bug.  The
-same test fails on Linux with version 2.1 of the GNU C Library.  The
-second failure is caused by a bug in the Hurd's filesystem servers,
-that we have not been able to fix yet.  I don't think it is crucial.
+The Perl test suite may still report some errors on the Hurd.  The
+`lib/anydbm' and `pragma/warnings' tests will almost certainly fail.
+Both failures are not really specific to the Hurd, as indicated by the
+test suite output.
 
 The socket tests may fail if the network is not configured.  You have
 to make `/hurd/pfinet' the translator for `/servers/socket/2', giving
 it the right arguments.  Try `/hurd/pfinet --help' for more
 information.

 There are quite a few systems out there that do worse!
 
 However, since I am running a very recent Hurd snapshot, in which a lot of
-bugs that were exposed by the Perl testsuite have been fixed, you may

-`lib/io_sock.t', `lib/io_udp.t' and `lib/time.t'.

+the failure as a bug.
