It appears that opening a filehandle to "print" to a scalar reference isn't supported in this version of perl; the test suitres rely on this to capture ouput to STDOUT (see, eg, t/assert.t line 6). Consequently, the test suites create lots of files named 'SCALAR(...)', and fail because the strings they are testing are all empty.
