Subject: make test fails with Perl 5.8.7
I've tried installing Algorithm::Merge on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE with Perl 5.8.7 on two separate machines and observed the same test failure. With Perl 5.8.2 all tests pass. I notice that no CPAN Test reports for this module use 5.8.7, so they have not uncovered the problem. Here's the output I see: % perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for Algorithm::Merge % make test cp Merge.pm blib/lib/Algorithm/Merge.pm PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/00basic....ok t/10merge....ok t/20diff.....ok 1/17 t/20diff.....NOK 10# Failed test (t/20diff.t at line 92) # Structures begin differing at: # $got->[0] = Does not exist # $expected->[0] = ARRAY(0x8077fc0) # Looks like you failed 1 test of 17. t/20diff.....dubious Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) DIED.

Let me know if I can provide any more information or if I've missed something. Thanks, Tom
Possible change in how arrays are autovivified. Explicitely checked for condition that caused the failure.
