+ ext/File/Glob/t/basic...............FAILED at test 3
+ ext/POSIX/t/sigaction...............FAILED at test 13
+ ext/POSIX/t/waitpid.................FAILED at test 1
The reasons for the failures are as follows:
=item *
-The op/lfs and Fcntl/t/syslfs seem to hit a real bug: though we can
-seek around past the 2GB limit, reading from there doesn't work.
-Therefore, please don't try doing large files in BeOS with Perl.

-
The op/magic failures look like something funny going on with $0 and
$^X that I can't now figure out: none of the generated pathnames are
wrong as such, they just seem to accumulate "./" prefixes and infixes
processes, waitpid is supposed to start returning -1 (and set
errno to ECHILD). In BeOS, it doesn't seem to.
-=item *
-
-The Tie/File/t/16_handle seems to indicate some brokenness
-(non-UNIXness) in how BeOS handles pipes.
