Bug #60046 for POE: PWR on Win32 returns wrong exit status on invalid binary

Subject:

PWR on Win32 returns wrong exit status on invalid binary

rt56417-wheel-run.t returns an exit code of 0 when executing an invalid binary on Windows (Strawberry 5.10.2 & 5.10.1.3, Win7 x64), while an exit code of >0 is expected. This test file is new as of 1.291, so this might have been broken for a while.

I've reproduced this bug on a clean install of POE 1.293 on a clean install of Strawberry Perl 5.12.1.0. -- Olivier Mengué - http://search.cpan.org/~dolmen/ http://github.com/dolmen/

This is a duplicate of RT#56417 which has been rejected as it is due to a bug in Perl itself. -- Olivier Mengué - http://search.cpan.org/~dolmen/ http://github.com/dolmen/

Based on discussion, the underlying error seems to be http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=74196 What can we do to work around that?

This appears to be caused by a flaw in Perl itself, and nobody knows how to work around it. As much as I hate rejecting tickets, we seem to be unable to actually resolve this and I must. Future readers, if you know of a solution, please attach it to this ticket and reopen it. Thanks from your friends in the past!
