Cloning now. I see the speedy-cgi-perl test suite failed with a timeout on hppa, that might be related. The problem was introduced with perl 5.10.0, as pike7.6 7.6.112-1 built fine but 7.6.112-1+b1 didn't. However, libperl embedding isn't totally broken because the pperl test suite works on 5.10.0. I have access to an hppa host where the bug is reproducible, so I'll look into it more when I have the time. Marking the perl bug 'serious' for now, at least until we know how many packages this affects. -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
