At 33430 (always just a bit behind you) on VMS I see: t/op/threads................................FAILED--expected 10 tests, saw 9 ext/threads/shared/t/stress.................FAILED at test 1 ext/threads/t/blocks........................FAILED--expected 5 tests, saw 4 lib/ExtUtils/t/cd...........................FAILED at test 1 lib/ExtUtils/t/eu_command...................FAILED at test 21 lib/ExtUtils/t/xs...........................FAILED--non-zero wait status: 1024 Failed 6 tests out of 1080, 99.44% okay. Obviously that's a threaded build. The threads failures are access violations; I'll check whether 33436 does us any good there. For the MakeMaker failures, eu_command.t and xs.t behaved after upgrading to 6.43_01. cd.t I just patched last night: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=33813 If there are no further integrations of MakeMaker in the cards (I think 6.44 is out), I can mark tests as TODO or otherwise patch the tests if you wish. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
