Re: Need IO::Pty help with *BSD/OSX
(I was having problem of "session timeout" after submitting the following comment. So here it is instead being a reply at Need IO::Pty help with *BSD/OSX)
I had no problem with /usr/bin/bc test on FreeBSD (FreeBSD 8.4-STABLE #1 r267149). gvl, perhaps you were thinking of dc?
01-test did fail though, not ok 13 - eof_on_pty (perl 5.18.2 compiled from FreeBSD ports).
Ranting, blurbing about Perl, among other things.
02-bc.t also fails if I run it individually but Expect passes tests allright upon instalation (a report has been sent to cpantesters). FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p10, perl 5.16.3 built from ports. No, I am running bc(1), not dc(1). On 9.2 does not issue any kind of "warranty" message. 8.x uses GNU bc. 9.x uses a BSD licensed bc ported from OpenBSD.
8.4-RELEASE
bc 1.06
Copyright 1991-1994, 1997, 1998, 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
9.2-RELEASE
bc (BSD bc) 1.0-FreeBSD
Thanks, gvl. I did expect that bc might have changed and/or you might be running FreeBSD newer than 8. But that thought came to me after having published the post/reply.
(Amazing I was able to post a reply this time!)
