| Subject: | Wrong perl used in tests |
On my smoker systems I see test failures like this:
...

Looking at the @INC in the error message it seems that the wrong perl is used here, probably /usr/bin/perl instead of the perl which was used to build+test the distribution. If so, then the usual fix is to use the blib/script version of the script (which should have the correct shebang), or to do the call using $^X (which is probably the only solution on non-POSIX systems like Windows).
