Doesn't look too bad.

lib/locale.t has this snippet :

if ($^O eq 'darwin') {
    # Darwin 8/Mac OS X 10.4 has bad Basque locales: perl
bug #35895,
    # Apple bug ID# 4139653. It also has a problem in
Byelorussian.
    if ($Config ge '8' and $Config lt '9')
{
        debug "# Skipping eu_ES, be_BY locales -- buggy
in Darwinn";
        Locale = grep ! m/^(eu_ES|be_BY.CP1131$)/, Locale;
    }
}

What's osvers on Leopard ? (perl -V:osvers should give it)
Maybe this
test needs to be skipped there, or maybe that's a new test
that is
failing. A verbose run of the test might help (cd t
&& ./perl -TI.
-MTestInit ../lib/locale.t)

It would be also helpful to have a verbose run of op/pwent.t
and see
why it's failing.

Thanks for testing!

So I rsynced blead again today, and re-ran the make/test, 
superficially the same results.

perl -V:osvers on this Leopard gives 9.0.

Doing that spat out reams of text, with the last line
saying

   None of your locales were broken.

But a few lines prior to that, it said:

   The locale of definition

     be_BY.CP1131

   on your system may have errors because the locale test 99
failed on 
that locale.

Running this:

   cd t && ./perl -TI . -MTestInit ../op/pwent.t

Resulted in this immediate death:

   Insecure $ENV while running with -T switch at
op/pwent.t line 22.
   BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at op/pwent.t line 68.

And keep in mind that if you think there are bugs in the OS,
that my 
copy is two months out of date, the latest that came to me
on a DVD 
so far.
