With perl 5, version 30, subversion 1 (v5.30.1) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread I'm trying to install SVG::TT::Graph::XY and the install fails with: t/02_basic.t ........... 1/85 POSIX::tzset not implemented on this arc +hitecture at blib/lib/SVG/TT/Graph/TimeSeries.pm line 582, <DATA> lin +e 593. # Looks like your test exited with 255 just after 72. t/02_basic.t ........... Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff +00) Is there a workaround for this problem? /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell bernie@fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --

I found this: https://mid.as/kb/00057/posix-tzset-not-implemented-on-this-architecture (I'm not a strawberry maintainer so I can't answer why it's not supported.)

Also not associated with Strawberry, or this module, however... After v5.8.9 I don't believe the use of tzset should be required. Reference: https://perldoc.pl/perl589delta The FAQs make not reference to tzset: https://perldoc.pl/perlfaq8#How-do-I-set-the-time-and-date? Context: https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11112025 I'll supply a patch to SVG::TT::Graph::XY shortly to resolve this issue.

Given the information in the other reply and on the basis that the tests now pass, and the module installs without issue (http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=SVG-TT-Graph+1.04), it may be worth considering closing this ticket. Thanks.
