Bleadperl recently updated to Test-Harness 3.21.  If you build perl with

	sh /path/to/Configure -Dmksymlinks [etc.]

then the perl tree is composed of symlinks to the original files.  The new 
test file t/source.t then fails with the following message:

cpan/Test-Harness/t/source.....................................#   Failed test 'assemble_meta for file'
#   at t/source.t line 133.
#     Structures begin differing at:
#          $got->{is_symlink} = '1'
#     $expected->{is_symlink} = '0'
FAILED at test 19

I don't know whether simply skipping that test is appropriate, so I
haven't suggested a specific patch.
