Checking test results on CPAN, results on different perl versions,
checking
source code show the problem is more mysterious.
Certainly, bleadperl is throwing up more problems.
More ever adding some debugging prints into the test one can see
Data::Dumper
treat local hashes and AST hashes in different manner.
Just more indentation differences? Or really different?
In addition if we patch the tests, it will start failing on lower
perls.
Not too much of a problem for us. Either patch the tests only in f14+, or
better, simply do something like:
make test \
|| diff -qb t/ast/00-basic.t{,_} \
&& mv -f t/ast/00-basic.t{_,} \
&& make test

Openly said, I don't see much sense in trying to "fix"
this package.
At the minute, the package itself doesn't seem to be broken - only its tests
fail for an understandable reason.
It's not used by Fedora,
Think of the DarkPAN!
its upstream build-matrix
(
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Pugs-Compiler-Rule+0.37)
also speaks a very clear language.
That its test fail - but we can see why.
My vote goes to "let this package die".
I don't really mind either way. Just playing devil's advocate. But according to
rel-eng, Steve needs to kill it, not you (or us).
