Even t9700-perl-git.sh? Or perhaps it is skipped since Test::More
is missing?

t9700-perl-git.sh doesn't run successfully for me on perl 5.8.0 without
changes since test.pl uses

    'File::Temp->new()'

object form, and

    'open our $tmpstderr, ">&", STDERR'

bare STDERR as 3rd argument which this perl version complains about.
