Please make sure that such bad Test.pm files are removed from your perl
installations (I already got some invalid fail reports because of this).
You can find candidates like this:

    locate /Test.pm|egrep '/site_perl/[0-9.]+/Test.pm$'

or (the problematic Test.pm is relatively small, less than 1000 bytes):

    ls -l `locate /Test.pm|egrep '/site_perl/[0-9.]+/Test.pm$'`
