Failed 14 tests out of 1675, 99.16% okay.
Some more detailed test output and comments where I know anything
follow:
t/io/errno.....................................................FAILED
at test 2
$ perl [.io]errno.t
1..16
ok 1 - Wrong errno, PERLIO=perlio stdin='test\n',
not ok 2 - Wrong errno, PERLIO=perlio stdin='test\n', $/=undef
# Failed at [.io]errno.t line 31
# got "test\noperation invalid for file organization or device\n"
# expected "test\n"
...
not ok 10 - Wrong errno, PERLIO=stdio stdin='test\n', $/=undef
# Failed at [.io]errno.t line 31
# got "test\noperation invalid for file organization or device\n"
# expected "test\n"
errno does in fact get set by what it's doing. The specific error
usually indicates trying to rewind something that can't be rewound,
like the terminal. I would guess that there's a rewind implicit in a
seek that only happens when $/ is undef, though I never managed to put
my finger on exactly where it was. Nor do I have any confidence that
we should be relying on errno not getting set.
t/io/inplace...................................................FAILED--
unexpected output at test 4
$ perl [.io]inplace.t
1..6
...
ok 4 - normal inplace edit
Can't open "tmp70124E": error in file name at [.io]inplace.t line 75.
Can't open "tmp70124F": error in file name at [.io]inplace.t line 75.
Can't open "tmp70124G": error in file name at [.io]inplace.t line 75.
ok 5 - consumed ARGV
not ok 6 - normal inplace edit
# Failed at [.io]inplace.t line 81
# got "bar\nbar\nbar\n"
# expected "foobar\nfoobar\nfoobar\n"
I think this is new-ish; I've never looked at what it's doing.
t/re/reg_posixcc...............................................FAILED--
unexpected output at test 1507
The test that fails is marked as TODO, but it also spews more than 2K
of output in a single line, which probably causes some kind of
trouble, don't know what exactly.
t/op/filetest_t................................................FAILED
at test 1
This brand new test works when run interactively, but fails in batch
mode because the /dev/tty equivalent is mapped to the /dev/null
equivalent in that situation. You can successfully open it but it is
not a terminal.
t/op/ref.......................................................FAILED
at test 117
$ perl [.op]ref.t
1..196
...
not ok 117 - STDOUT destructor
# Failed at [.op]ref.t line 443
# got 'ok
# okokok
# '
# expected /(?-xism:^(ok)+$)/
ok 118 - Nothing before we start
ok 119 - Nothing before we start
ok 120 - Accessing via 8 bit symref works
not ok 121 - Accessing via UTF8 symref works # TODO UTF8 mangled in
symrefs
# Failed at [.op]ref.t line 459
# got undef
# expected "Pound"
This started failing between 24 Aug 2009 and 28 Aug 2009. I can't
give commit IDs because the rsync server had lots of spurious commits
in that timeframe. I looked at most (all?) of the commits in that
range but nothing jumped out at me and I haven't had time to build
each one and see where it broke.
cpan/ExtUtils-CBuilder/t/02-link...............................FAILED
at test 8
$ perl [.t]02-link.t
1..8
...
not ok 8 - got expected exit code from executable
# Failed test 'got expected exit code from executable'

# got: '0'
# expected: '11'

Well, exit codes are different. Needs looking into.

ok 147 - Descrip.MMS shouldn't exist
...
It looks like we're getting stuff in an architecture-specific auto
directory but shouldn't. Or maybe that's where it should be on VMS
and we're erroneously thinking it shouldn't.
cpan/Module-Build/t/properties/share_dir.......................FAILED

$ perl [.t.properties]share_dir.t
1..21
...
not ok 17 - share_dir files copied to blib

share/foo.txt'
# $expected->[0] = 'temp_install/lib/perl5/auto/share/dist/Simple-
Share/foo.txt'
Case sensitive comparisons don't work when case is not preserved. I
don't think is_deeply has a cousin named like_deeply, but that would
be a nice addition to the Test::* family for this kind of thing.
cpan/Pod-Parser/t/pod/find.....................................FAILED--
expected 4 tests, saw 1
1..4
ok 1 - use Pod::Find;
### 2. searching /D0/CRAIG/BLEAD/CPAN/lib/pod/

Illegal division by zero at [.t.pod]find.t line 71.
# Looks like you planned 4 tests but ran 1.
# Looks like your test exited with 1024 just after 1.
Hmm. It's trying to do some calculation based on finding zero files.
Why it doesn't find anything needs looking into.
dist/base/t/fields-5.6.0.......................................FAILED--
no leader found
dist/base/t/fields-5.8.0.......................................FAILED--
no leader found
These are failing because they are invoked via C<do file> which uses
Perl_pp_require, which on VMS cannot, by default, handle Unix-style
filenames with multiple dots. We used to be protected from this
because t/TEST used to convert to native syntax before running a test
file. The easiest solution would be to simply remove these files from
core since the tests in them are skipped on Perls later than 5.6 and
5.8, respectively.
dist/ExtUtils-Install/t/InstallWithMM..........................FAILED
at test 3
This always succeeds when run by itself. There could be another test
leaving something in the environment that gets in its way, but I've so
far not managed to sort out what that is.
t/porting/diag.................................................FAILED--
unexpected output at test 0
$ perl [.porting]diag.t
# blead/av.c
Can't open blead/av.c: no such file or directory at [.porting]diag.t
line 53, <$diagfh> line 5129.
1..0
The home-grown glob does not properly handle relative paths containing
C<../>. So, for example, glob('../*') from the t/ directory gives
blead/av.c rather than ../av.c as it should. Fixing that is some
moderate intensity C work in Perl_trim_unixpath in vms/vms.c. It's a
genuine bug but has nothing to do with what this test is testing.
t/porting/manifest.............................................FAILED
at test 9427
...
ok 9426 - File XSUB.h exists
not ok 9427 - MANIFEST sorted properly
# Failed at [.porting]manifest.t line 51
# got ''../MANIFEST' is NOT sorted properly
# %SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort

1..9427
Looks to me like it's genuinely not sorted properly and Porting/
manisort accurately detects that. Don't know why that doesn't show up
on other platforms.
