Due to this bug report I decided to install perl 5.10.0 on a CentOS 5 server using the following configuration:

When running make test, the following is the interesting part of the output:

I first attributed this to $! returning errno in numeric context and put the $! in double quotes in both lines which didn't make any difference. Ok, it wasn't very likely anyway that it had to do with the tests, I did that out of curiosity for the most part. line 113 in constant.t is the last one of the following snippet:ok(mkdir('blurfl',0777)); ok(!mkdir('blurfl',0777)); like($!, qr/cannot move|exist|denied|unknown/i);
Here I have no idea at all what this is supposed to test. Could anyone please give me a hint on what these results mean and how I can possibly pass those? I compiled perl 5.10.0 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron (64bit) with the same configuration later yesterday and it passed all tests on first try.use constant E2BIG => $! = 7; cmp_ok E2BIG, '==', 7; # This is something like "Arg list too long", but the actual message # text may vary, so we can't test much better than this. cmp_ok length(E2BIG), '>', 6;
