In perlport now there is this text:

# Be careful not to depend on a specific output style for errors, such as
# when checking $! after an system call.  Some platforms expect a certain
# output format, and perl on those platforms may have been adjusted
# accordingly.  Most specifically, don't anchor a regex when testing an
# error value.
