Lugger has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

1'm new learner of Perl6, and Inline::Perl5 install failed because the t/p5_object_destructor.t and the t/p6_object_destructor.t tests failed. OS is Linux Mint 19.1 (Ubuntu based). Perl6 V6d. Rakudo Star version 2019.03.01. "zef install" works on other modules. The code for the t/p5_object_destructor.t has the line "use ObjWithDestructor:from<Perl5>;". I cannot find ObjWithDestructor in CPAN. This might be the problem, but it is not required in t/p6_object_destructor.t so the problem might be the something missing in the Mint OS? I am reluctant to use the zef "--force-test" option without informed advice as I suspect it would create a rippling of problems when using Perl5 modules down the track. Any thoughts?

    Hi. Are you the author or maintainer of Inline::Perl5? Are you going to debug and fix the failing tests? Did you report this issue if unknown? Try the latest development version? The test failed. You've been warned. Force install and wait for the next pebble to drop.
