Problem: SWIG PERL bindings on RedHat 9.0

I just upgraded SWIG to 1.3.19 (Subversion build wouldn't allow anything
else) and followed the instructions to build the PERL bindings and got
further than I've ever gotten before! :-)

At the moment there are only 4 tests failing:

$ make all test

Build environment
=================
RedHat 9
swig-1.3.19-1
perl-5.8.0-88.3
subversion (head, r8369)

Any clues, patches, suggestions on getting it running on Perl 5.8.0?

I think we're *almost* there! If we can get those 4 tests knocked out of
the way and I can figure out how to get the subversion perl bindings to
install in a temporary staging area then I think I can generate
subversion-perl RPM packages.

Do the Subversion Perl bindings *REQUIRE* Perl 5.8.2? Any way to patch to
use 5.8.0?

    Thanks!
