Subject: Test failures due to hash randomisation in perl 5.17.6
Since bleadperl v5.17.5-518-g7dc8663 your tests are failing frequently. That commit introduced hash key randomization and it seems at least the tests t/11_saxdriver.t t/13_ids.t are hit by that. Find a sample fail report at: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/f0614dec-3181-11e2-a4ee-0fb8a290f8f5 You can read more about the change at http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/7dc8663964c66a698d31bbdc8e8abed69bddeec3 or at http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1005122 You may have to run the test several times until the randomization causes a fail. HTH&&Thanks&&Regards,

I see, 0.52 is out, it still looks like randomization hits, see here the very same perl has pass and fail: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/30731841 # FAIL http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/30731861 # PASS This time it is only the test t/13_ids.t that is failing

To workaround the issue one has to set the following environment variables: PERL_HASH_SEED: 14 PERL_PERTURB_KEYS: NO (will be part of my distroprefs file for PITA-XML-0.52)

It seems that perl 5.27.1 has a different hash implementation --- a working seed value here is for example 11.
