Update: solved, ++Athanasius

Hello learned friends,

I have a module that outputs encoded data. I am testing the output. The tests pass on newer Perl versions, but fail on some old ones. I cannot spot the reason, since the test output appears to be the same, when reported as different. Can anyone please help me spot the issue?

Test code: 

use strict; use warnings;
use Test::More; use Test::More::UTF8;
use Encode;
use Capture::Tiny 'capture_stderr';
use FindBin '$RealBin';

my $expected = q!{
  'i中文' => '也許你的生活很有趣',
  'Ελληνικά' => 'ἓν οἶδα ὅτι οὐδὲν οἶδα',
  'русский' => 'доверяй, но проверяй',
}
!;

subtest 'imported via class function' => sub {
    my $dump = capture_stderr(sub {
        qx{perl $RealBin/import-via-class-function.pl}
    });

    is( decode_utf8($dump), $expected, 'output ok' );
};

done_testing;
__END__

Output:

    #   Failed test 'output ok'
    #   at t/import-via-class-function.t line 21.
    #          got: '{
    #   'i中文' => '也許你的生活很有趣',
    #   'Ελληνικά' => 'ἓν οἶδα ὅτι οὐδὲν οἶδα',
    #   'русский' => 'доверяй, но проверяй'
    # }
    # '
    #     expected: '{
    #   'i中文' => '也許你的生活很有趣',
    #   'Ελληνικά' => 'ἓν οἶδα ὅτι οὐδὲν οἶδα',
    #   'русский' => 'доверяй, но проверяй',
    # }
    # '

Thank you for any assistance!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
