I've now gone through the sprintf.t and sprintf_tests and skipped only those tests that need to be skipped. The skipped tests are generally due to: (1) perl5-specific features in the test, (2) parrot provides a conversion that perl5 doesn't, or (3) the test contains a '*' modifier and the harness can't deal with this yet. The remaining tests have been left as errors, and should either be fixed or marked as 'todo'. Most of the failing tests seem to be due to one of the following: ~ a '+' flag on unsigned conversions is generating a leading '+' (e.g., "%+b" and "%+x" should not result in a leading '+' in output) ~ incorrectly zero-padding fixed-width, left-justified fields ~ sprintf doesn't generate an exception or error when passed an incomplete format specifier (e.g., '%h' or '%l') Pm
