Re: [aur-general] Perl Upgrade, make test failures and you: The Hurt That Finds You First

I was wondering about this myself. I think the tests failing might indicate that broken modules are being used but it's probably too late to know for sure. Unofficial, platform-dependent perl modules (i.e. those with .so files) need to be rebuilt for perl 5.20 which I assume you noticed, John. To
