Building URI-1.06 (latest version) having built Perl 5.6.0 cleanly on WinNT4
SP6,
nmake test fails with
bless( do{\(my $o = 'file://C:/TEMP/')}, 'URI::file' )], 'URI::URL' );
Test Failed at t\old-base.t line 22
URI::URL::_expect('file://C:/TEMP/', 'as_string',
'file:C%3A/TEMP/') called at t\old-base.t line 675
This looks worryingly like something to do with the new Unicode stuff. Last
version of Perl I built URI on was 5.005_03, where there were no problems.
This has brought my mod_perl install on NT to a screeching halt.
I could probably patch this problem but it worries me that this is failing
now under the supposedly latest 'stable' perl release. I am wondering what
else is gonna break in the various modules I normally compile to build a
full mod_perl. At the point of failure I had already built
HTML-Parser,CGI.pm,Mime::Base64 without any obvious problems. URI is next on
my normal sequence - I've done this several times before on previous perls
and this is the first failure I've had.
