Perl Debug Build

Hi all,
I want to build perl in debug mode. My intention is to put a perl script under gdb. But when I build perl in debug mode, I encounter some errors. Some of the tests are failing:

1. weak.t
Error:
------

Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl at ../
+ext/Storable/t/weak.t line 28
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../ext/Storable/t/weak.t line 33.

2. DB.t
Error:
------
"-T" is on the #! line, it must also be used on the command line at ..
+/lib/DB.t line 1.

3. threads.t

Now, some FAQs:
What version(s) of Perl do you have on that machine? -5.8.8
Which version are you trying to build with debug support? 5.8.8
What were the configure options you used (post output of perl -V)?

$ ./perl -V
