Subject: | Test failures due to hash randomisation in perl 5.17.6 |
From perl 5.17.6 upwards tests are failing frequently. Sample fail report:
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/89c70c28-8fde-11e2-a15e-4ef8e6c65a89
Or best illustrated with the matrix:

v5.17.5-518-g7dc8663 introduced hash key randomization and indeed I get slightly different test results whenever running the tests. 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
