Here we go: my strange system is Debian unstable :)
A bit more verbose: I tried to run the test manually and outside of
a chroot and everything:
gregoa@belanna:~/src/svn-pkg-perl/trunk/libipc-system-simple-perl$ svn st
gregoa@belanna:~/src/svn-pkg-perl/trunk/libipc-system-simple-perl$ perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for IPC::System::Simple
gregoa@belanna:~/src/svn-pkg-perl/trunk/libipc-system-simple-perl$ make
cp lib/IPC/System/Simple.pm blib/lib/IPC/System/Simple.pm
Manifying blib/man3/IPC::System::Simple.3pm
gregoa@belanna:~/src/svn-pkg-perl/trunk/libipc-system-simple-perl$ TEST_AUTHOR=1 prove --blib --verbose t/08_core.t
t/08_core....1..3
ok 1 - use IPC::System::Simple;
ok 2
not ok 3
# Failed test at t/08_core.t line 45.

dubious

Maybe someone who knows more about Perl on Debian can add some ideas?
Cheers,
