Are you sure it fails those tests? The messages indicate that the tests
have correctly detected your broken platform and should have skipped any
testing, because it would be futile.

Why would you want to watch a file? For one thing, windows doesn't support
it in any way, and even if it would, it would not make any sense to do so,
files are already there, so you could just use perls built-in readline.
If you run with AnyEvent::Strict enabled (AE_STRICT=1 program) it should
have told you about that bug. It's highly recommended to be used when
developing programs.
