  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.

Except that (I think) that the plan with distributions in dist/ is that
the perl 5 repository is the master copy for the CPAN distribution. So
removing them from blead would, um, mess that up.

I had wondered about that and that's one reason I hadn't clobbered them yet.

Whilst they wouldn't be as pretty, is there a problem with renaming them
to dist/base/t/fields-5-6-0.t and fields-5-8-0.t ?

That works peachy, so I'll just do a rename and MANIFEST tweak and we'll be on our way. I may use underscores rather than dashes as that's the more traditional dot substitute.

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.

Will it pass if it's changed like this?

Yes it does. I'd been hoping to get a round tuit and fix the underlying problem with glob, but now is not the time.

Thanks, applied:
