81	Failures in Perl test suite	gomoko	clfs-commits@…	"Problem:
In CLFS x86_64 multilib, there's some tests failure in the Perl test suite (chapter 10.22).



Solution:
As suggested by the command:
{{{
echo ""127.0.0.1 localhost $(hostname)"" > /etc/hosts
}}}
in the book, Perl test suite needs local network for some tests. But in CLFS, after a reboot, the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/localnet is not started, because IPRoute2 isn't yet installed.

To have a perfect Perl test suite, the following operations must be done:

- install IPRoute2 in /tools (in fact, only the 'ip' program is needed in /tools/bin)
or move the installation of IPRoute2 before Perl's one (no more dependances required)

- launch the commands to start the local network (as in localnet bootscript):
{{{
hostname <clfs>
ip link set lo up
}}}
before the echo in /etc/hosts.


After that, all tests were successfully passed.
