I just made perl 3.0, patchlevel 27 on an Apollo running DomainOS
sr10.2 (cc 6.6). It all worked ok, but during the regression tests, op.stat
failed:
1..56
not ok 1
not ok 2
ok 3
ok 4
#4 :650542356: != :650542358:
ok 5
-- since Apollos do have a rather unusual filesystem, this could be nothing to
worry about, but on the other hand, you never know...
Any explanations?
Thanx in advance,
mike

I didn't worry about it -- its just a check of creation time versus last modification time of a newly created file.

It _is_ rather unusual that a newly created file should have more then one link to it. bye, mike ____ ____ / / / / / Michael K.

At the time, I logged this: Test Results at patchlevel 18 (SR10.2), March 30, 1990: op.stat... FAILED on test 1 This test opens a file and then looks to see if there is one hard link, but the link field is still 0. When I added a close before the stat, this test worked (but, naturally, test 2 failed). Perl has been working fine for me anyway, but it is somewhat worrisome that something this basic should fail on the Apollos when it apparently works on all the other UNIX systems in the world.

This test opens a file and then looks to see if there is one hard
link, but the link field is still 0. When I added a close before
the stat, this test worked (but, naturally, test 2 failed).
I'm not convinced. I just tried it a bunch of ways, including using creat
and open for read and/or write, and fstat as well as stat. I can't get it
to do anything unusual.
