That looks to me like Test::Unit's own test suite is using an old experimental
perl feature that I guess 5.38.2 no longer supports ("defined(@array)"), and
since its tests can't be run, cpan won't install it.
I think cpan has an argument to bypass the testing, so you might be able to use
that to get it installed. Though if the tests use that feature, the library
itself probably does too, in which case it won't work even if it does install
okay.
Interesting problem... we might need to package up our own version of
Test::Unit that fixes it to not use language features that don't exist anymore.
I don't see us being able to remove it from Cassandane easily.
Did you upgrade to perl 5.38.2 yourself, or is it being shipped by one of the
distros these days?
Cheers,
