Thanks for the report. The D_FLOAT configuration does account for
most of these, certainly all the lib/Math and probably t/op/pack.t as
well. If you need D_FLOAT to be compatible with some other facility
or library, then by all means use it, but otherwise stick with IEEE
on Alpha.
t/uni/class was a test bug, since corrected (or at least worked around). That
leaves us with:
t/lib/vms_stdio...........................FAILED at test 19
There are only 18 tests, so you must be getting spurious output of some kind.
ext/Encode/t/enc_module...................FAILED at test 1
lib/Pod/t/basic...........................FAILED at test 7
lib/Unicode/UCD...........................FAILED at test 180
I really have no idea on these. If the verbose output isn't giving
us anything, then the only thing to do is delve into the details of
these tests and figuring out what's going on. On the other hand, if
you're not doing character set manipulation or building Perl
documentation, then these probably won't affect you.
