Yes, I did notice the differences between my build (which is like
yours), and the log from Peter's build. I even tried in a Squeeze-32
chroot, which has perl-5.10.1, but it still behaves as expected.

I was hoping you might have an idea on why it was behaving differently
in Peter's case. We will see this failure again and again on Peter's
autobuilder. We even have a new occurence of it:
    http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/a5f/a5fa377288df604aaa49df0878d7dc4293648255/

So, it would be nice to at least understand what's going on.

Thanks!

Yann E. MORIN.
