Problem compiling perl@​14833 on OS X 10.1.3 on a Powerbook G4.

$ ./Configure -des -Dusedevel -Dprefix=/usr/local/devperl; make all test

So the File​::Temp test gives a warning but is 'ok'\, but the POSIX test definitely fails.

Hi!

This is a known deficiency of MacOS X. There's unfortunately nothing we can do about it.

Sorry.

Hi!

There is\, we can declare the test TODO on MacOS X so we don't keep getting bug reports. We'll only hear about it when OS X fixes its POSIX signal handling.

Marcel\, if I could see the full posix.t output I'll rig up a proper skip.

Sorry for the long delay in replying.

File​::Temp is complaining that your root directory is not owned by a user that it deems to have root privilige. Your root is owned by uid 3023. Is uid 3023 a root-type user on OS X? If so we need to tweak the way that topuid is determined (currently uid\<10 is the clause).

There is a related problem in that the test should fail rather than pass and I'm not sure why it doesn't (since the directory is unsafe after all). I'll take a look at that and try to come up with a fix.
