Your suggested fix solved the problem. Here it is a
unified diff against perl 5.8.0:
--- t/pod/find.t;-1 Sat Jun 1 17:03:50 2002
+++ t/pod/find.t Mon Oct 14 13:10:00 2002
@@ -48,8 +48,8 @@
my $count = 0;
my @result = split(/,/,$result);
my @compare = split(/,/,$compare);
- foreach(@compare) {
- $count += grep {/$_/} @result;
+ foreach $compare (@compare) {
+ $count += grep {/$compare/} @result;
}
ok($count/($#result+1)-1,$#compare);
}
End of Patch.
I note that the difference between the t/pod/find.t file
that shipped with perl 5.8.0 and the perl@17882 devel
kit of perl 5.9.0 is null, hence that patch might apply
cleanly to the mainline of perl development.
Unfortunately I do not know where the newer kits are
kept and perl@17882 was the most recent kit posted
to ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/snap/.
To get any closer to the mainline might require a
perforce client or an rsync client (perforce is free
for open source work and has been ported to VMS).
At any rate thanks for the suggestion, try mailing that
patch in to p5p.
