We're building again but with plenty of failures, summarized below.  

The Net::Ping problems are because there is no echo service running.  

The glob problem has to do with the return value from glob("0").  
ext/File/Glob/Glob.xs does not put anything on the stack when no matches are 
found; the pod says it should return a zero-length list (is that the same as 
a stack with nothing on it?).  The code in glob.t has a comment saying the 
return value should be tested for "definedness not truth" but the actual 
test tests for truth.  I'm confused.  Creating a file named "0" makes the 
test pass ;-).

I haven't had time to look at the others yet but will try to post details 
later.
