Emerge perl without tests

I have I problem emerging perl during install. It hangs at some of the tests.
So the question is: is there a way to emerge perl and skip testing after compile?

Thanks for help...

Can you post relevant snippets of the output?

Also, have you tried the -k option (--usepkg) to emerge?
Possibly this might skip the tests...

edit the ebuild and comment out the testing lines.

I would think it would be better to try and find out why the tests are failing. Those tests are usually there for a reason. Can you post where it is failing so we can get a better look at what might be wrong?

Sorry I didn't put details but I just wanted to go through with installation.

So the test that in my opininon is creating the trouble is: /lib/Config. After long time of doing something emerge/perl complains about number of things: lack of free memory, processor overload and problems with DMA. Then it seems to be going on but moment later emerge is killed and I'm back at the command line.

I think I should mention thet it is a clean install and it DID install without any problems with 2004.2.

Thanks for help. I will try what was suggested so far.
