Just to add a data point: In Debian all tests [0] pass:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=libpgplot-perl
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/libpgplot-perl.html
https://ci.debian.net/packages/libp/libpgplot-perl/

[0] with one tiny patch to test12.p:
https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libpgplot-perl/blob/master/debian/patches/test-pgplot5-version.patch

Maybe the giza source is Debian has another version or carries
patches, compared to the version you tried?
 

Cheers,
gregor
