I noticed weird CPAN testers' failures in the last release of Syntax::Construct (5.38.2 without threads on Solaris, 5.38.2 threaded on Solaris, 5.38.0 threaded on Solaris).

To know more, I released a dev version with a debugging output. It hasn't been tested on the same machines yet, but I've got similar results from 5.38.2 on FreeBSD and 5.38.0 on Linux. It seems that in all these cases, the following line doesn't fail:

require (0 + 5.040);  # Should fail in 5.38.X!

I contacted the testers, but there has been digital silence so far.

If you have a 5.38.X installed, would you be so kind and test it for me, too?

I still fear it's my fault, so here's the line that shows the debugging information. Do you have any ideas?

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
