This problem has persisted in monthly tests of RPC::XML against Perl 5 monthly development releases (run as part of "CPAN-River-3000" testing). This means that RPC::XML's reverse dependencies (https://metacpan.org/requires/module/RPC::XML?sort=[[1,0]]) are not reached during that automated testing process. This in turn means that we can't evaluate the impact of changes in the Perl 5 core distribution on those reverse dependencies. If there is any way that this test could be skipped or relegated to release-only testing, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
