AFAICT (the size of the attachment posed difficulties), your 'perlbrew'
installation successfully built Perl 5.14.0, but some tests failed
during 'make test'.  Generally the failures looked like this:

###
String found where operator expected at
/admin/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.14.0/cpan/ExtUtils-Constant/../../lib/Carp.pm
line 145, near "$arg =~ s/'/\\'"
	(Missing operator before '/\\'?)
Global symbol "$where" requires explicit package name at
/admin/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.14.0/cpan/ExtUtils-Constant/../../lib/Carp.pm
line 118.
Global symbol "$arg" requires explicit package name at
/admin/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.14.0/cpan/ExtUtils-Constant/../../lib/Carp.pm
line 118.
Global symbol "$arg" requires explicit package name at
/admin/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.14.0/cpan/ExtUtils-Constant/../../lib/Carp.pm
line 118.
###
In other words, the problems occurred in lib/Carp.pm when called from
tests of 'dual-life' modules.

Apart from using perlbrew, are you able to build and test Perl 5.14
successfully on this machine?

Thank you very much.
