Building foolperl using DEC C V5.2-003 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1,
Multinet V4.2 Rev A-X, I get all tests successful except:
[.lib]socket.t..........FAILED on test 9
[.op]utf8decode.........FAILED on test 53
socket.t has only 8 tests, which all pass successfully. The reported
failure is another example of the now infamous mailbox overflow in
the test suite's pipes. The patch attached here makes the failure go
away and changes only the printing out of a '#' comment to keep it on
one line.
The utf8decode problem is a genuine problem, perhaps a bug in this
six-year-old compiler:
ok 51
# 4.2.1: Malformed UTF-8 character (2 bytes, need 1) in unpack at
[.op]utf8decode.t line 142.
ok 52
# 4.2.2: Malformed UTF-8 character (3 byte(null), need 2) in unpack
at [.op]utf8decode.t line 142.
4.2.2: unpack('U*') false positive
not ok 53
FAILED on test 53
It'd be nice to figure this out, but it's not worth holding up the release.
