The Perl tests (both Perl 4 and Perl 5) assume that when you say you have ndbm, it will create .dir/.pag files which BSDi will not to my knowledge do because they use (like the other BSD) the DB library. The DB library has a API compatible with ndbm but it will use .db files. When you compile Perl 5, don't define the module NDBM. That should do the trick. Disclaimer: I do not use BSDi and they may have changed their ndbm handling since I did look at BSDi.
