I see these same failures, and after spending most of the day digging
around in various recesses of swig, this is what I've come up with:

Various perl modules in subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native/ aren't
being linked against libsvn_swig_perl, which contains various wrapper
functions. The makefiles in the above directory don't contain
-lsvn_swig_perl-1 in the LIB variable, so it doesn't get linked. If I
manually add it, the failures go away.

The other weirdness that I see is when I remove just the
subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native/ directory, and not the
subversion/bindings/swig/perl/libsvn_swig_perl/ directory (e.g.,
libsvn_swig_perl stays intact). In this scenario, the tests work,
without any manual editing of makefiles. I *think* that the build
system is building the bindings components in the wrong order, but I
don't know where to fix this.

Hopefully this analysis helps somebody to fix the perl bindings' build
system.
