Yes, but most modules shouldn't (or don't) fail tests. And yet Math::Big for instance can't be build by ActiveState for linux :-/ It would be good if first pure-perl modules that don't require much to work (like Math::BigInt::foo) could be made to work :) See here: http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-linux/linux-5.8/Math-BigInt-Constant-1.06.txt That shouldn't happen.
