Hi Rafael, This is a summary of the errors I get testing 5.6.2-RC1 on Darwin (10.2.8): Maybe Darwin (Mac OS X) should be mentioned specifically in the description of the 1st error, who has NeXT nowadays? The second error is new to me. The third error is I think the same with 5.8.2... but it fails at test 64 rather than the mentioned error numbers. The fourth error is also new to me This was with a standard build (sh Configure -de). Now on to the debug build ;-) Would you rather I sent these reports to p5p or to you directly? Kind regards, Liz ====================================================== t/pragma/warnings....................PROG: # pp_hot.c [pp_print] use warnings 'io' ; print STDIN "anc"; print <STDOUT>; print <STDERR>; open(FOO, ">&STDOUT") and print <FOO>; print getc(STDERR); print getc(FOO); #################################################################### # The next test is known to fail on some systems (Linux+old glibc, # # old *BSDs, and NeXT, among others. # # We skip it for now (on the grounds that it is "just" a warning). # #################################################################### #read(FOO,$_,1); no warnings 'io' ; print STDIN "anc"; EXPECTED: Filehandle STDIN opened only for input at - line 3.
