Lara: I was unable to reproduce the test failure you encountered at the YAPC Parrot build fest. So I'm somewhat groping in the dark as to a solution. However, I looked at the test and figured that it would benefit from some simplification.
Can you re-run 'perl Configure.pl', apply the patch attached, and then run 'prove -v t/postconfigure/06-data_slurp_temp.t' and post the results? If you continue to get a failure, it would be helpful if you could post the output of 'perl -V' and attach the 'myconfig' file created by Configure.pl in the top level of your Parrot sandbox directory. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
