This test also failed at patchlevel 18.  At the time, I logged this:

   Test Results at patchlevel 18 (SR10.2), March 30, 1990:

   op.stat... FAILED on test 1
      This test opens a file and then looks to see if there is one hard
      link, but the link field is still 0.  When I added a close before
      the stat, this test worked (but, naturally, test 2 failed).

Perl has been working fine for me anyway, but it is somewhat worrisome
that something this basic should fail on the Apollos when it apparently
works on all the other UNIX systems in the world.
