Well I have no idea. All the strange failures occurred within two-minutes period. There might have been some network problem or something. IMO they are tester problem and we could just ignore it. :)
I think 'open(...) or die' did not work should be an issue of Strawberry Perl. I have filed a ticket for it. https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/ Display.html?id=125895 SJ 2018-07-21 0:40 GMT+08:00 Konovalov, Vadim <vadim.konova...@dell.com>: > Ok I’ve made some another release 1.21, > > > > but > > https://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/d03c8124-8c09- > 11e8-8fb1-ef5133556b3f > > > > ------------------------------ > > PROGRAM OUTPUT > > ------------------------------ > > > > Output from '/mnt/nas/home/pi2/njh/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.12.5/bin/perl > Makefile.PL': > > > > Can't open perl script "Makefile.PL": No such file or directory > > > > How this could be?? > > > > *From:* Konovalov, Vadim [mailto:vadim.konova...@dell.com] > *Sent:* Friday, July 20, 2018 12:59 PM > *To:* S.J.
