----------------------------------------

             Summary: Skip threaded tests under Perl < 5.8.7
                 Key: CLOWNFISH-92
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOWNFISH-92
             Project: Apache Lucy-Clownfish
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Nick Wellnhofer


Our Perl thread support relies on the CLONE_SKIP mechanism which was introduced 
in Perl 5.8.7. Without CLONE_SKIP, pointers to Clownfish objects get cloned for 
every Perl thread and can be destroyed muiltiple times. See this failing test 
for example:

http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/d073d51a-088b-11e6-a27a-892312a8f2ac

We should disable this test under unsupported Perl versions and maybe document 
this deficiency somewhere.
