[charnames.pm is unavailable in 5.00503.]
Commenting out the 'use charnames' in String.pm, I only get two failures
for languages/perl6 with perl5.00503. They are
t/compiler/b_4.p6, which is
sub main() {
print "\c[^J]"; # Control-Char
print "\c[REVERSE SOLIDUS]\n"; # Named Unicode
print "\c[INVERTED EXCLAMATION MARK;CENT SIGN]\n"; # Named-Unicode m-block
print "\0[0x010]\n"; # Number block
print "\x[40;50]\n";
}
This fails as String.pm tries to load in charnames.pm. I don't see any
way 5.00503 could correctly handle that test.
and t/compiler/c_1.p6, which is
sub main() {
print 0b0110;
print "\n";
print -0b0110;
print "\n";
}
Perl5.00503 doesn't understand the 0b notation, and it's hard to see that
it's worth a lot of effort to make 5.00503 correctly handle that test.
On balance, I wonder if these tests should simply be skipped if $] < 5.6.
