Bug #88488 for Dist-Zilla-Plugin-Test-Compile: fails on perl 5.6

The generated test fails on Perl 5.6 (I'd like to note this report is a few months old and I've not regenerated in a while ). I don't actually need the test to pass on 5.6, I'd just like it not to fail. Could you add a skip for versions of perl older than you wish to support? http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/70aec8d2-e7ec-11e2-81de-e2cefec28264 -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com Calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=xenoterracide%40gmail.com&ctz=America/Chicago

The version of the test in this report is using File::Find, which was dropped a few releases back. I'd highly recommend repackaging your distribution with the newest version. Show quoted text

The test uses the 'warnings' pragma, which requires 5.6; as far as I know, there are no further version requirements. The plugin itself does run on 5.8.x and has passing test reports for it. I'd certainly be interested in seeing test reports on 5.6 for dists using this test, either passing or failing.

Line 447 in 5.6.2's File::Find is: $_= ($no_chdir ? $dir_name : $dir_rel ); Why this fails I cannot say, but nevertheless, the plugin no longer uses File::Find, and I've seen no other reports of issues running the test on 5.6.2.
