| Subject: | Fails with perl 5.8.3 |
As per subject. Sample fail report: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/d3fad9ba-d195-11e8-98b1-2dc7a1dbd8f1
Diagnostics:
# Failed test 'Perl version is 5.005 or newer'
# at t/01_compile.t line 20.
# Implemented by: File::HomeDir::FreeDesktop
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 11.
The code leading to the fail is
https://metacpan.org/source/REHSACK/File-HomeDir-1.004/t/01_compile.t#L20
Here is the line itself:
ok($] > 5.008003, 'Perl version is 5.005 or newer');
Bycatch: the first argument to ok() does not match the text of the second. But this is harmless, it would never come to the light of the day.
The fail comes to cpantesters because the Makefile.PL explicitely allows 5.8.3:
https://metacpan.org/source/REHSACK/File-HomeDir-1.004/Makefile.PL#L4
use 5.008003;
Switching to REHSACK/File-HomeDir-1.002.tar.gz seems to do as a workaround.
