Subject: t/1_XMLin.t and t/2_XMLout.t may fail
On some of my smoker systems the test suite fails: ... 65:DataCompare: web_source -> web_target1 & web_target2 != web_source -> web_target1 & web_target2 t/1_XMLin.t ..... Failed 1/65 subtests 74:DataCompare: &C& != &C& t/2_XMLout.t .... Failed 1/188 subtests ... Statistical analysis does not give any clues. The problem could depend on the installed SAX parsers --- maybe it fails if only the default bundled pure-perl SAX is installed and used (AFAIK it has a number of known issues). Probably it would be good to print out the used SAX parser in the test diagnostics.

It seems that XML::LibXML::SAX is the problematic one. On a system without fails /opt/perl-5.32.0t/lib/site_perl/5.32.0/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini looks like this: [XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser] http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1 [XML::LibXML::SAX] http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1 [XML::SAX::Expat] http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities = 1 http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities = 1 http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1 As far as I know the last mentioned parser "wins" (given that the feature set is sufficient). If I comment out the whole XML::SAX::Expat section, then the test suite starts to fail. Note that XML::LibXML lost its old ability to declare as a SAX parser some time ago. This was restored in the latest version, see https://metacpan.org/source/SHLOMIF/XML-LibXML-2.0205/Changes#L4 This explains why there were no failures on CPAN Testers for a long time. Another problem is that the installation order matters; a system is not affected if first XML::LibXML and later XML::SAX::Expat is installed, or XML::LibXML was never installed.
