It doesn't *really* care, those tests are verifying that File::Copy returns
what we expect, so that if any of the later tests fail, we know that
something is wrong.
However the documentation for File::Copy states for "RETURN":
All functions return 1 on success, 0 on failure.
So it *should* be returning 0 if we're to be following what the docs say.
I can patch autodie to skip this test on VMS, or we can patch File::Copy to
return 0 rather than "" on failure. I believe that cherry-picking
079cb8cc5abf40c0b016f9f878493b4d192d85d3 into maint-5.10 should do this.
For the CPAN version of autodie, I'll get it to always skip this test on
releases before 5.10.1.
Cheerio,
Paul
