And the rest of you losing sleep because you don't know how Perl 5.18.0 will work in your environment with your preferred configuration running your favorite extensions have nothing between you and a great night's sleep except for downloading, building, and installing the first (and possibly final) release candidate, available from: https://metacpan.org/release/rjbs/perl-5.18.0-RC1/ or http://search.cpan.org/~rjbs/perl-5.18.0-RC1/ > Anything you would like me to pursue? It's not up to me to say what's important to you. Generally core tests would be more important than module tests, and module tests that are distributed with the core (starting with dist/) would be more important than module tests from CPAN (starting with cpan/). From your list, the ones starting with comp/ and op/ would probably benefit from a closer look. > Itanium RX2600 (same as you, I believe) > $ cc/version > HP C V7.3-018 on OpenVMS IA64 V8.4 > > $ show system/noproc > OpenVMS V8.4 on node TITAND 12-MAY-2013 13:30:24.27 Uptime 1 21:47:08 > > Failed 34 tests out of 2164, 98.43% okay. > ../cpan/Archive-Extract/t/01_Archive-Extract.t > ../cpan/CPANPLUS/t/03_CPANPLUS-Internals-Source.t > ../cpan/CPANPLUS/t/04_CPANPLUS-Module.t > ../cpan/CPANPLUS/t/20_CPANPLUS-Dist-MM.t > ../cpan/Config-Perl-V/t/10_base.t > ../cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/t/INSTALL_BASE.t > ../cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/t/PL_FILES.t > ../cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/t/basic.t > ../cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/t/miniperl.t > ../cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/t/pm_to_blib.t > ../cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/t/xs.t > ../cpan/Module-Build/t/PL_files.t > ../cpan/Module-Build/t/compat.t > ../cpan/Module-Build/t/install.t > ../cpan/Module-Build/t/install_extra_target.t > ../cpan/Module-Build/t/manifypods.t > ../cpan/Module-Build/t/runthrough.t > ../cpan/Module-Build/t/tilde.t > ../cpan/autodie/t/recv.t > ../dist/Carp/t/Carp.t > ../dist/ExtUtils-Install/t/Install.t > ../dist/ExtUtils-Install/t/InstallWithMM.t > ../dist/ExtUtils-Install/t/Installapi2.t > ../dist/ExtUtils-Install/t/can_write_dir.t > ../dist/Net-Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t > ../ext/Pod-Html/t/cache.t > ../ext/VMS-Stdio/t/vms_stdio.t > ../lib/perl5db.t > comp/parser.t > op/coreamp.t > op/kill0.t > op/stat.t > porting/pod_rules.t > porting/podcheck.t With $ cc/version HP C V7.3-020 on OpenVMS IA64 V8.4 with update 8.0, on a disk with the following attributes: Volume Status: ODS-5, subject to mount verification, protected subsystems enabled, write-through XFC caching enabled, write-through XQP caching enabled, hard links enabled, special files enabled. from a non-privileged account, I get: cpan/CPANPLUS/t/03_CPANPLUS-Internals-Source ..................

I have no explanation for why it's so different from yours. There must be some differences in privileges, quotas, volume characteristics, external utilities installed (such as tar or vmstar), etc. ________________________________________ Craig A.
