Ultrix hasn't traditionally been 100% perl clean, so having perl tests fail
doesn't neccessarily reflect installation problems, but rather Ultrix bugs
or perhaps legitimate (if wrong headed) differences in unix implementation.

Try compiling with optimization, and see if this helps.  Analyze the remaing
errors to find out what the Ultrix problems are, and either patch in workarounds
or file some SPR's.
