MacOS X and Solaris/Sparc available for testing
Matthias tipped me off to this: "SourceForge.net Compile Farm Features Apple's Latest OS X (10.1)" There's our MacOS X server to test against. SourceForge's compile farm also has DEC Alpha/Linux, Linux/PowerPC, Linux/Sparc64 and Solaris/Sparc (R220) which should round out the available testing platforms nicely. I've double-checked with the SourceForge guys, we're clear to use their machines for smoking Perl. For more info on SourceForge's compile farm... http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=762&group_id=1 -- Michael G.

But I'm mostly doing: isa_ok($foo, 'Alzabo::Foo', 'Return value from $bar->foreign_keys should be "Alzabo::Foo"'); That way if it fails I know exactly what was going on. I'm big on verbosity here ;) -dave /*== www.urth.org We await the New Sun ==*/

Can you differenciate between Perl's IP socket system being broken and the OS's IP system being broken/non-existent? -- Michael G. Schwern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Perl6 Quality Assurance <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kwalitee Is Job One Plus I remember being impressed with Ada because you could write an infinite loop without a faked up condition. The idea being that in Ada the typical infinite loop would be normally be terminated by detonation. -- Larry Wall in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
