# New Ticket Created by Peter Rabbitson # Please include the string: [perl #116587] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=116587 > This is a bug report for perl from ribasushi@cpan.org, generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.10.1. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [Please describe your issue here] The test block https://github.com/tsee/Data-Dumper/commit/db957a7e#L4R1476 fails randomly (both pp and xs part) on any 5.8 perl (regardelss of what version.pm is installed if any). While fixing this would be nice, it is likely a bug in perl itself (otherwise the pp version would not be failing randomly). If this is the case I propose skipping the tests on $] < 5.009, as v-string support was not available on D::Ds that shipped with 5.8, and hence things like CPAN are unlikely to rely on it.
