:) I looked into this issue now. Disclaimer/summary: I'm confused :) The options seem to be to take either the new 3.22 release or create a huge patch by taking several commits (mentioned in the first mail to this bug). Looks both not really attractive. Looking at the diff at http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=Test-Harness-3.21&to=Test-Harness-3.22&w=1 doesn't also really help due to it's size. More interesting is a look at the two original upstream reports: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=59186 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=59457 Both tickets mention a fix in one commit: * 59186 -> http://github.com/AndyA/Test-Harness/commit/80cf0384667d8bc7e95c2b0565827292aacab139 (and for the test: probably http://github.com/AndyA/Test-Harness/commit/a794796d6780f4438bb492bf87ed14982a5357dd and http://github.com/AndyA/Test-Harness/commit/3a934f897b6a9d1d91afbeca21616e4c729f344f and http://github.com/AndyA/Test-Harness/commit/6ca9bf39fed165755033e824b895edea1cac21a7 ) * 59457 -> http://github.com/AndyA/Test-Harness/commit/6703fdc01e152df672047400364b227a172449e2 I have no idea if this is enough or not; Nicholas and v.nix.is, what do you think?
