Andreas,
Apparently I have missed Curtis' posting, ...
He suggested looking at the compiler used to build the particular Perl.
...but I have silently affirmed Tony's in which he said: tony> You might want to try testing it under a few different time zones. That's also my finding. I can vary the number of failing tests by setting the time zone.
Yes, with your message and Joel's (which came right after yours), I can see that it really is the timezone that seems to cause this failure. That weirds me out, because I really thought I knew what was causing the problem ... and now it seems I have no clue after all. :-/
There is no reflection of the timezone of the smoker box in cpan testers reports, so if you do not find the correlation with different timezones yourself, it would be a good idea to add the reflection manually, e.g. diag "localtime: ".localtime; or something like that and make another release.
Yep, that's a great idea: andk++. I will definitely add that to my test output for future releases.
Thx a lot! (And of course thx to Tony and Joel as well.) -- Buddy
