It won't be out until the fall.  He must have a developer preview.
Among other changes, the system volume is read-only in Catalina and
the default shell is zsh rather than bash.  More likely, though, is
some change to the formatting or wording of nm output.  Figuring out
the exact nm command libperl.t is running (using the Perl debugger as
James suggested) and then running it external to Perl and seeing what
its output looks like and how it might differ from what the test
expects might be the best place to start.
