I get the same failure testing on MSWin32, Perl 5.8.0.

Checking the test suite, test 7 under heuristic reads:

$URI::Heuristic::MY_COUNTRY = "uk";
print "not " unless uf_urlstr("perl/camel.gif") =~
m,^http://www\.perl\.(org|co)\.uk/camel\.gif$,;
print "ok 7\n";

I don't have time at the moment to go through the code thoroughly, but
the test may be failing because neither of the URIs possible from
inside the pattern are currently available:

http://www.perl.co.uk/camel.gif
http://www.perl.org.uk/camel.gif
