The failure in t/aggregate/unit_core_script_help.t has appeared in another context.
Yesterday I ran my "test-against-dev" process to test a list of 3000 CPAN distributions (the top of the "CPAN River") against perl-5.29.3 on FreeBSD-11. In the Catalyst-Runtime test suite, t/aggregate/unit_core_script_help.t failed. I am attaching a gzipped file with the .cpanm build.log extract for Catalyst-Runtime.
I also manually installed v5.29.3 on the same machine (perl-5.29.3_V.txt attached), installed cpanm against that perl, then attempted to use that cpanm to install Catalyst-Runtime. I got the same failure, which can be most simply shown as:
#####

I then reproduced this failure on Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS with perl-5.29.3 and cpanm.
Since Catalyst-Runtime failed its tests, it failed to install. As a consequence, the many CPAN distributions among the "CPAN-river-3000" which depend on Catalyst-Runtime were not reached in the course of test-against-dev and their own viability with respect to perl-5.29.3 could not be accurately assessed.
Thank you very much.
