I got a failure message from CPAN testers for Pod::Extract::URI for
5.11.0 patch 33001 on Linux 2.6.22-3-amd64 (x86_64-linux-thread-multi-ld)[0]
The failures were where I was testing to see if an arrayref of qr//
patterns was the array I was expecting. is_deeply() has heretofore
worked perfectly well.
The test line in question is:
is_deeply( $peu->stop_uris, [ qr/foo/ ] );
And the failure is:
# Failed test at t/new.t line 42.
# Structures begin differing at:
# $got->[0] = (?i-xsm:foo)
# $expected->[0] = (?-xism:foo)
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 24.
So, is this 5.11 brokenness, is_deeply() brokenness, or are my tests
naive (or wrong)?
Is there a better/preferred way to compare qr// patterns?
Thanks,
Ian
