HTML-Mason-1.28 t/14a-fake_apache.....# Failed test 'Check status' # in t/14a-fake_apache.t at line 182. # 'Status: 302 Found # Location: http://example.com/ # Content-Type: text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1 # # ' # doesn't match '(?i-xsm:Status: 302 Moved)' # Looks like you failed 1 test of 92. Upgrading HTML-Mason to 1.35 resolved this. DateTime-0.27 t/20infinite............ # Failed test 'infinity (datetime) == infinity (number)' # in t/20infinite.t at line 72. # got: '-0001--01--01T-01:-01:-01' # expected: 'inf' # Failed test 'neg infinity (datetime) == neg infinity (number)' # in t/20infinite.t at line 75. # got: # '-9223372036854775808--9223372036854775808--9223372036854775808T-9223372036854775808:-9223372036854775808:-9223372036854775808' # expected: '-inf' # Looks like you failed 2 tests of 40. Upgrading to DateTime resolved this Devel-Cover-0.52, no problems after upgrading to Devel-Cover-0.61. Module where upgrading did not help: Date-Formatter-0.07 t/20_Date_Formatter_overloads_test........Illegal Operation : Cannot add a date object to a non-date object. at /oldroot/home/gerard/perl/tweed/perlkit/tmp/Date-Formatter-0.07/blib/lib/Date/Formatter.pm line 446. Date-Formatter-0.08 t/20_Date_Formatter_overloads_test........Illegal Operation : Cannot add a date object to a non-date object. at /oldroot/home/gerard/perl/tweed/perlkit/tmp/Date-Formatter-0.08/blib/lib/Date/Formatter.pm line 473. Serious problem: ImageMagick-6.3.2-0 sometimes a segmentation fault (something inside a XS_Image__Magick_DESTROY). I'll try to get some more debug information. Used to run it as the perl for a test setup 2dehands.nl (replacing perl 5.8.6). And run all our tests, a lot of mod-perl, DBD-mysql, sockets stuff, UTF8 flags, lots of utility modules, some horrible/fantastic magic like blessed tied hashes. Gerard Goossen
