Failing tests - reason?

Hi *.

A few days ago I posted a message to the users list, reporting failing
tests with modperl-dev, Apache 2.2.6 and Perl 5.10.0 (cf.
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/modperl/95979 and
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/modperl/95980).
Maybe that should have gone to this list in the first place.
Anyhow, the posting received no reply which still leaves me behind with
two possible explanations:
a) Either this is currently "expected behavior" due to issues with Perl
5.10.0. Which - in the tradition of "Doctor, it's hurts if I do this. -
Don't do it, then." - means I should switch back to Perl 5.8.8 and
update later.
b) Or there is something else messed up with my build.

Since I don't know which one it is - could someone please give me a
hint?

Thx
Heiko

I'm not sure of the reason for all of your failures, but
there are some basic problems with the filter tests,
as others have also found:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/modperl/95932
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/dev/95997
This problem is perl-5.10 specific.

Yup. To elaborate from
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/dev/95997

Some fields in struct xpvcv got unionized into the same storage location
in perl 5.10 (to shrink the struct insize), under the reasonable assumption
that some fields can't be used at the same time, e.g. CvXSUBANY
which is only used by XS subs and CvSTART which is only used by
Perl subs. Unfortunately modperl tries to store some modperl-specific
flags into CvXSUBANY of a Perl (non-XS) sub.

Cheers, Roderich

OK. I'll take your and Randy Kobes remarks as confirmation that
one should wait for an official new mod_perl release, certified to
work with Perl 5.10.0.

Thanks for the clarification of facts!
