Subject: 02IdnaTest.t fails on Unicode 11 and 12
Unicode has changed the format of their test script that this test reads in. Hopefully that is the issue behind the test failures. Perl 5.30 is shipping with Unicode 12

It's a little bit confusing that there are also some PASS reports with perl 5.29.x, see http://fast-matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Unicode-BiDiRule%200.04 I think it's because the problematic test is effectively skipped if the IdnaTest file could not be loaded, which is the case if no wget is installed on the system.

I think that's a likely explanation. And it's a real mixed bag with Unicode and file formats. They are still using the original antiquated UnicodeData.txt file to avoid breaking things that may depend on it, but here they just upped and changed the format of this test file.
