phoen][x pointed this one out to me on #gentoo-dev. Perl 5.6.1, during it's 
test phase, does a suid check on the bin dir's to see if it can tell what 
uid,guid,suid,etc. files are set to. On a freshly built box, this test can fail 
(did for phoen][x) and halt the perl install. This does not affect 5.8 - the 
syntax for this test is "smarter" in 5.8. Working on a patch of -r6 now.
