Quoting the module author in the response to the bug report:

<bockquote> Bother. Looks like the latest Test::More has changed the diagnostic text for some test failures.

So, straight from the horse's mouth, it seems to be a change elsewhere, and likely that change was not there when you installed it on your Mac, but is there now that you install on your Ubuntu.

Of course, if you are actually using your system Perl, that is, you didn't compile your own version of Perl to use with your application, you're much, much better off using apt-get or aptitude to manage the modules that you install into the stock Perl.
