Test failiure 5.8.5 final

2004-07-26 Thread Dr. Martin P.J. Zinser 
Hi,

I've pulled the production version of Perl 5.8.5 from CPAN on Friday.

Build and test all in all did work very well, thanks to everybody working 
on the release!

I've got one failiure during mmk test:

t/uni/class...FAILED at test 2959

Environment:

$ perl -V
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 5) configuration:
  Platform:
osname=VMS, osvers=V7.3, archname=VMS_AXP
uname='VMS ufr008 V7.3 Digital Personal WorkStation'
config_args=''

useperlio=define d_sfio=undef uselargefiles=undef usesocks=undef
use64bitint=undef use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=undef
usemymalloc=undef, bincompat5005=undef
  Compiler:
cc='CC/DECC', ccflags ='/Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/Obj=.ob
j /NOANSI_ALIAS/float=ieee/ieee=denorm_results',
optimize='/NoList',
cppflags='undef'
ccversion='60590001', gccversion='', gccosandvers='undef'
...

Is this just me, or a general issue?

Greetings, Martin

Hello Craig,

thanks for the explanation. I am sure this will not cause problems for 
our local use of Perl. Actually I am very impressed with the success rate 
for the tests in recent Perl versions. I think you and the group did a 
terrific job in this area.

Yeah, I knew about this, but didn't (and still haven't) gotten around
to doing anything about it yet.  The test does a directory scan to
collect a set of unicode class names to test for.  It assumes case
preservation when doing readdir(), which will never work on ODS-2.
It currently does not work on ODS-5 either because Perl follows the
old CRTL practice of downcasing filenames.
If the patch that I submitted for 5.8.4 Release Candidate has been 
incorporated, IIRC, setting the appropriate DECC feature logical will 
cause case to be preserved.
