I've been trying to update Test.pm but I'm getting bitten by intermittent failures in I/O tests when I run "make spectest". These usually happen in t/spec/S16-filehandles/io_in_for_loops.t and t/spec/S16-filehandles/io_in_while_loops.t.
They *always* pass when I run:
make t/spec/S16-filehandles/io_in_for_loops.t
make t/spec/S16-filehandles/io_in_while_loops.t
I sometimes have to run "make spectest" several times before I can reproduce
this failure.
As another data point - I've been running the spectests a *lot* in the
last couple of weeks on Win32, and haven't seen this issue at all. I'm
sure I've heard someone other than you mention intermittent failures in
these tests, however. So that makes me suspect a platform specific
issue...either that or I'm incredibly lucky...
