In blead (5.25.0), the tests are giving:
Use of uninitialized value in exit at t/nntp_ipv6.t line 36.
Use of uninitialized value in exit at t/pop3_ipv6.t line 35.
Use of uninitialized value in exit at t/smtp_ipv6.t line 35.
This because they all do something like:
use Test::More;
...
exit(nntp_server());
sub nntp_server {
....
note("NNTP dialog done");
}
note() is not documented as returning any particular value,
and it happens to have changed from returning 0 to returning
undef since blead has upgraded cpan/Test-Simple/, so that:
$ perl5240 -MTest::More -le'print $Test::More::VERSION'
1.001014
$ ./perl -MTest::More -le'print $Test::More::VERSION'
1.302015
I don't know whether the libnet tests should be relying on the return
value of note(), and if not, I'm not sure what the return value
of nntp_server() etc should be.
