I am building a Moodle server with all dependencies built from source.
This is my first time building software from source to this extent so I
have some learning to go. After running make test, I received the
following messages:

TESTDONE: 628 tests out of 635 reported OK: 98%
TESTFAIL: These test cases failed: 20 507 526 527 532 534 546
TESTDONE: 779 tests were considered during 562 seconds.
*** Error code 1

Daniel Stenberg directed me to http://curl.haxx.se/dev/runtests.html to
learn how to run each of the tests. I have run each of the tests, they all
indicate that there is an "uninitialized value $p in string eq at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/BSDPAN/BSDPAN.pm line 36."

Tests 507, 526, 527, 532, 534, and 546 also indicated two additional
errors:

Use of uninitialized value in require at
/usr/home/myuid/installs/curl-7.28.1/tests/runtests.pl line 80.

Can't locate serverhelp.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/BSDPAN
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/mach
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/mach
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1 . .) at
/usr/home/myuid/installs/curl-7.28.1/tests/runtests.pl line 80.

Line 36 of BSDPAN.pm is part of the following line numbered subroutine:
33 sub canonical_path {
     34 my ($pkg, $path) = @_;
     35 my $p = $path;
     36 $p = '.' if $p eq '';
     37 $p =~ tr|/|/|s;
     38 $p =~ s|/$||;
     39 return $p;
     40 }

I found serverhelp.pm

# find / -name serverhelp.pm -print
/usr/home/myuid/installs/curl-7.28.1/tests/serverhelp.pm

I reviewed the ouput of ./configure --help to see if I could specify the
path to serverhelp.pm so I could run the ./configure again but I am too
unfamiliar with the process to be certain of what I am doing.

Here is the full out put from test 20:

# /curl-7.28.1/tests/runtests.pl 20 <
Use of uninitialized value $p in string eq at
