Hi all,

 I was trying to track down the cause of massive test failures in make
 test, and running the failing entries via -v showed the following popping
 up over and over again:

 Since git has private-Error.pm file, shouldn't that be picked up by the
 make test invocation?

The private Error file is not installed if perl/Makefile.PL detects
than an Error.pm recent enough on your system. Do you actually have
perl/blib/lib/Error.pm ? Try to run (cd perl; make clean; cd ..; make)
and try the tests again.
