On each of two different machines, I used the 'cpan' shell to 'test Data::Dumper'. I then inserted a debugging line calling out the D::D version number into Dumper.pm in each location. I then used my everyday, recent versions of 'prove' and 'perl' to run one file from the test suite. I got different results on the two different machines. See attached. The 5.16.0 on Linux was built from source; the 5.16.2 on Darwin was installed using 'perlbrew'. On Darwin, with 5.16.2, running the test with 'perl' gave the same error we're seeing on all those pre-5.14.0 cpantesters. While many tests were added to the distro between D::D 2.139 and 2.143, the code changes to the key files, Dumper.pm and Dumper.xs, were relatively small. So I'm at a loss as to how to explain this. Help! Thank you very much. Jim Keenan --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=116961Thread Next
