OK, perl hackers, you were so wonderfully helpful on my last round ....

In my continuing effort to put perl 4.003 on the polyglot machines at
work, I've run into a REALLY STRANGE one.

I'm trying to put perl on an Intergraph under CTIX (basically SYSVR2).
Perl compiles without problem or complaint under the Green Hills
compiler supplied by Intergraph, but when I try to test it, BOOM!

Run as 'make test' :

		 cd t && chmod +x TEST */*.t
		 cd t && (rm -f perl; ln -s ../perl .) && ./perl TEST </dev/tty
	base/cond......./base/cond.t: print: not found
	./base/cond.t: =: not found
	./base/cond.t: eq: not found
	./base/cond.t: ne: not found
	./base/cond.t: eq: not found
	./base/cond.t: print: not found
	./base/cond.t: ne: not found
	./base/cond.t: print: not found
	./base/cond.t: ==: not found
	./base/cond.t: !=: not found
	./base/cond.t: ==: not found
	./base/cond.t: print: not found
	./base/cond.t: !=: not found
	./base/cond.t: print: not found
	FAILED on test 0
	Failed a basic test--cannot continue.
	*** Error code 8 (ignored)

But running tests individually I get:

Run as 'perl t/base/comp.t' :
	1..4
	ok 1
	ok 2
	ok 3
ok 4


In fact, I can run every test manually and only cpp.t and goto.t fail
(goto.t fails test 3 but ALSO says 'ok 3' - go figure).

Clues?
