There was something recently on one of the perl* lists I'm on about 
Module::Signature and newlines.

Subversion is bad about automatic newline conversions between platforms. 
You need to either set the eol-style param or set auto-props in your 
subversion config files.  Here's an example of how to do so for unix and 
windows:

Given the recent switch to subversion, I figured there's a chance this 
could be related.  You might each try checking (in binmode) a count of 
the various newline characters in the files that are failing.
