Bug #17534 for Test-Warn: Trouble installing the module

Strange trouble, I can't get this module to install without force on my brand new perl 5.8.8 installation. I compiled this by hand using Gcc4 and a recent Glibc. Since this module is used as a dependency a lot I am afraid this will cause me a lot of trouble. The error log is very long (over 9k), so I can't put it all here (I attached it) but here is a sample: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [CP_ERROR] [Wed Feb 8 20:53:37 2006] MAKE TEST failed: Bad file descriptor PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /opt/perl/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/1................ok t/carped........... # Failed test 'Warnings and Carpings mixed, asked only for like warnings' # in t/carped.t at line 24. # STDOUT is: # not ok 1 #  # not: # ok 1 #  # as expected # STDERR is: # # Failed test in t/carped.t at line 23. # # found warning: Warning 1 at t/carped.t line 13. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Carping 2 at t/carped.t line 14 # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. # # found carped warning: Carping 3 at t/carped.t line 15 # # found warning: Warning 4 at t/carped.t line 16. # # expected to find warning: (?-xism:1) # # expected to find warning: (?-xism:2) # # expected to find warning: (?-xism:3) # # expected to find warning: (?-xism:4) #  # not: #  # as expected --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I also see this error a lot: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- found carped warning: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Sub/Uplevel.pm line 123. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I must have dozens of errors exactly like that in all the tests.
