All 4 of these tests are showing a commit with an empty author field.
You built this against HEAD out of trunk and you're getting that?

This has nothing to do with the Perl versions. Frankly it looks like
the username prompt provider (which isn't implemented in Perl but is
part of libsvn_client) is failing on your platform and not providing a
username.

If those are the only 4 tests that are failing it looks pretty clear
that it's working just fine with 5.8.0.
