I applied the numeric.c patch supplied by Hugo and modified by Craig. I rebuilt and ran the test suit again. This is what I get: 1)--------------------------- ext/Time/HiRes/HiRes.................FAILED at test 17 (rerunning this test individually produces a success sometimes and a failure others. As Craig said, it's very timing dependent.) 2)--------------------------- can't run './perl "-I."
