One failed test does not necessarily mean you shouldn't install. It depends on what is being tested and what the failure could mean to your applications. You should report the bug if you haven't already. I had no problems testing 5.8.1/2/3 on Red Hat 9 and Fedora on machines with US timezones. - Perrin -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
