  I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that coLinux kernel
has timer interrupts 'disabled'.  ie. They are not implemented
yet.



  I ran into the interrupts not being enabled in another situation,
I think UML in coLinux, but I'm not sure.



  Anyways, I'm prety sure that's what causes this.



The work arounds I have seen thus far are:



1) emerge inject perl-<version>



2) modify perl's ebuild and comment out the line having to do
with the tests and emerge again.



3) configure rc.conf to point to an local portage tree, copy
over an copy of perl's ebuilds, modify them, commenting out the
line dealing with tests and be on your way.



  I initially did solution #1, but eventually went back and settled
on #3.



HTH,
