Package: perl
Version: 5.24.0-1
Severity: important
Hello,
On hurd-i386, version 5.24.0-1 of Perl does not support error strings
any more:
€ cat ~/test.pl
$rc = system { "lkjsdf"} "lkjdf";
printf "# \$! eq %d, '%s'\n", $!, $!;
Using perl 2.22.2:
€ perl ~/test.pl
# $! eq 1073741826, 'No such file or directory'
Using perl 2.24.0:
€ ./perl ~/test.pl
# $! eq 1073741826, '1073741826'
This leads to the following testsuite failure:
t/op/exec ..................................................... # Failed
test 17 - at op/exec.t line 114
FAILED at test 17
which doesn't work any more because this test:
unless ( ok( $! == 2 or $! =~ /\bno\b.*\bfile/i or
doesn't get to parse the error message (in addition to the hardcoded errno
value).
I don't know which part of perl is supposed to ship error messages, but
it seems it broke somewhere between 5.22 and 5.24 for the hurd.
