I need the assistance of someone with a sun-solaris system. A module I wrote (CGI::Simple) fails 1.5% of its tests under solaris. This does not occur on Win32, cygwin, Mac, Redhat, Mandrake, or Free BSD.

I don't have access to a solaris system so I need is someone to download the module and do this:

%tar -zxvf Cgi-Simple-0.05.tar.gz %cd Cgi-Simple-0.05 %perl Makefile.PL %make %make test

This should show errors like so

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/perl/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" " +-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/cookie......ok t/function....ok t/request.....ok t/simple......FAILED tests 68, 76-77, 81, 89-90, 205 Failed 7/330 tests, 97.88% okay t/standard....FAILED tests 69, 77-78, 82, 185 Failed 5/303 tests, 98.35% okay t/util........ok Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- +--------- t/simple.t 330 7 2.12% 68 76-77 81 89-90 205 t/standard.t 303 5 1.65% 69 77-78 82 185 Failed 2/6 test scripts, 66.67% okay. 12/839 subtests failed, 98.57% o +kay.

Assuming this to be the case on your system I just need the two problem test scripts run outside the harness which will enable the full debugging mode to output to STDOUT so I just need:

%cd t %perl simple.t >dump.txt %perl standard.t >>dump.txt

The text file will contain the debug output and this is what I need. Can anyone spare 5 minutes to help me out? I have emailed the tester but have yet to recieve a reply.

cheers
