Failed 4 test scripts out of 653, 99.39% okay.

I didn't want to `./perl harness` since 'make test' already took three hours
(it's a slooow machine). However, here are the two non-ExtUtils failed
tests, run manually​:

Looks as if the machine fell afoul of the "check inaccurate fp" checks :)
The first should have been 10.2 (aka v10.200.0) but became v10.199.999, and
the second should have been 10.000_02 (aka v10.0.20) but became v10.0.19.

This might just be a speed-of-machine problem? Or a maths problem? Or a
return-value-of-sleep() problem? After all, tests 20 and 21 had similar
elapsed time, but the ratio calculated is quite different. (Note that #20
tests sleep() and #21 tests usleep().)

I'm not going to try to reproduce the ExtUtils ones.

Cheers,

Yes, maths problem. IIRC that's why v-strings were introduced.
Not really surprising when you look at the code (in pp_ctl.c) :

  else if (!SvPOKp(sv)) { /* require 5.005_03 */
  if ((NV)PERL_REVISION + ((NV)PERL_VERSION/(NV)1000)
  + ((NV)PERL_SUBVERSION/(NV)1000000)
  + 0.00000099 < SvNV(sv))
  [etc.]

Should the test be made more lenient ?

10.2 is surely a small enough float that it shouldn't fall afoul of floating
point error?

Repeat after me​: SIZE DOESN'T MATTER... ;~)

Certain decimals do not translate cleanly into binary notation; when they are
entered as literals, they will appear fine, but when they are reached as a
result of a mathematical operation, they can lose accuracy. This is one of
those instances. I'm sorry that my version object patch was not able to be
integrated into 5.8.0, since that would have dealt with it cleanly.
