in r37939, cotto untodo'd a test. if I svn up to that revision and run the test, I see the following output:

This appears to be a Perl 5.8 vs 5.10 issue. The last test fails with 5.10.0 and (incorrectly) works with 5.8.8. Removing the ending $ from $copyright_parrot makes the test fail with both Perls, but there may be a reason why this isn't desirable.

Perl 5.8.8 is from Ubuntu Hardy and 5.10.0 was build from source.

In r38144, I revised t/codingstd/copyright.t to account for files where the string Copyright appears as part of, e.g., heredocs, usage statements, etc. This reduces the number of files truly failing this test to four -- the four 'Melvin Smith' files (known issue).

But if I run the test with the prove that comes with Perl 5.8 rather than 5.10, I get the same weird results reported by cotto in the preceding comment.

Thank you very much.

I re-TODO'd the test for the upcoming release, thinking that having it wrong be a passing TODO is better than it failing.

I re-TODO'd this in r38712 - the pass on some perls is incorrect; it IS a todo test, and the fact that it's accidentally passing doesn't mean it should be un TODO'd.

Thanks to cxreg++ on #perl, we can show that the behavior of this test doesn't change from 5.8 to 5.10, but from 5.8.8 to 5.8.9.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to fixed

Fixed in r38714, cxreg++.
