Perl 5.8 tests (Score:2)

by djberg96 (2603)

On my Solaris 9 box, the lib/Config test went into some sort of endless loop which resulted in an "out of memory!" error. I just skipped the tests and installed it anyway.
My point is, I think the tests themselves may be broken.

  IIRC, lib/Config.t was added in the test suite just a few weeks before the release of 5.8.0. Thus it wasn't extensively tested ; -- however I didn't heard about this kind of failure. If some tests are broken (reproducibly broken, it may be sensitive to the load of your system or to other parameters) you may want to help to fix them.
