-Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM.
+Haiku changed its filesystem hierarchy between BeOS/first Haiku versions and more recent ones.
+Haiku has a system utility "finddir" which is used to returns these paths, and
+it is now used in haiku hints (starting perl 5.32).

+
+Haiku file system has a limitation and does not store the access time.
+When using "stat", it will return always the local time,
+(like if "stat" was considered as an access).
+It is not the common implementation, but neither not considered false for POSIX.
+The tests relying on atime (e.g. the -X operator "-A")
+have then some unexpected results and need to be skipped (fixed in perl 5.36).

+The ${^CHILD_ERROR_NATIVE} value seems to be the same than exit code.
+Using POSIX::WIFEXITED (for instance) to "decode" will not give the expected result.
+The tests relying on these "decoding" need to be skipped.
