The SRPM is provided by Fedora. It's basically a bundle of the

most likely to contain a "make test" that succeeds, I wonder if
they've patched the problem without telling us.

That might be a problem on your system. On the other hand I don't see
why we could not include ENOTDIR in this test. How exactly do you
build perl ?
