Confirmation from #perl on irc.perl.org - it's a deliberate change in perl
5.20.0. A quick fix would be either to explicitly set $ENV{PATH} to
'/bin:/usr/bin', or skip the test for 5.20.0.
The rationale is that taint mode is rarely used anymore. The following
suggestion was made:
<@mst> maybe the best way to fix the test would be to try /bin, /usr/bin,
/usr/local/bin
<@mst> and see if the necessary binaries are there
<@mst> and if yes, you can run the test
<@mst> and if no, skip all
<@mst> but still run the test in cases where we can do
I hoped there would be a sensible value available in %Config, but there isn't.
