Something somewhere in those changes makes it go very wrong, as 0.67 works
a treat. I've not started digging yet, but the first test to clearly go
wrong is:
$ ~/Reference/5.005_03/bin/perl5.00503 -w -Mblib t/Builder.t
Using /export/home/nwc10/Perl/Test-Simple-0.68/blib
ok 6 - current_test() set
And this might give the game away:
$ ~/Reference/5.005_03/bin/perl5.00503 -w -Mblib t/buffer.t
Using /export/home/nwc10/Perl/Test-Simple-0.68/blib
ok 2 - You're ok
ok 4 - You're ok
ok 6 - You're ok
ok 8 - You're ok
ok 10 - You're ok
ok 12 - You're ok
ok 14 - You're ok
ok 16 - You're ok
ok 18 - You're ok
ok 20 - You're ok
given that the output is supposed to be:
$ perl -Mblib t/buffer.t
1..20
ok 1 - I'm ok
ok 2 - You're ok
ok 3 - I'm ok
ok 4 - You're ok
ok 5 - I'm ok
ok 6 - You're ok
ok 7 - I'm ok
ok 8 - You're ok
ok 9 - I'm ok
ok 10 - You're ok
ok 11 - I'm ok
ok 12 - You're ok
ok 13 - I'm ok
ok 14 - You're ok
ok 15 - I'm ok
ok 16 - You're ok
ok 17 - I'm ok
ok 18 - You're ok
ok 19 - I'm ok
ok 20 - You're ok
Does anything spring to mind as to the cause?
