The new version of Test::More from Sep 23rd improved the STDERR output
on test failure. Unfortunately, this has accidentally broken
Test::Builder::Tester's test_fail function. (and maybe other
test-testing modules)
http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=14936
T:B:Tester is used by about 26 other testing modules, and from there it
cascades out to 500+ other distributions, including LWP and almost the
entire web section of CPAN.
A certain unknown percentage of these (probably very low at this point)
will be failing spuriously in CPAN tester reports starting at around
report number 250,000 upwards... the pattern should look something like
this.
http://testers.cpan.org/show/Test-SubCalls.html#Test-SubCalls-0.01
It will probably start as a trickle of failures and gradually increase.
Please ignore these bad reports. I've contacted Schwern to get that
specific change to Test::More backed out ASAP. These problem, if you get
any, should go away shortly.
Given that the repair alternatives are to backout the Test::More change
and increment the T:B:Tester Test::More version to the newest (or at
least, NOT the current) or to change all 26 other modules, backing out
seems the sanest option at this point
