This is because Perl 5.005 now includes Errno.pm.  From the manpage:
       `Errno' defines and conditionally exports all the error
       constants defined in your system `errno.h' include file.
       It has a single export tag, `:POSIX', which will export
       all POSIX defined error numbers.

The *.ph files are generalized and usually have some brokenness.  Any
time a *.pm can replace it, this is good.  This has happened with
errno.ph.

If you'd like, I could put in an errno.ph that looks similar to
fcntl.ph:
if (!defined &_ERRNO_H) {
    use Carp;
    carp "Using Errno.pm instead.  Change your script to 'use Errno;' instead of require \"errno.ph\".\n";
    eval 'sub _ERRNO_H {1;}';
    use Errno;
}
1;

What this would do would be to cause all programs that require errno.ph
use Errno instead.  The problem with this is that the constants might
not be the same, so it might be better to just fix the scripts to use
Errno.pm
