t0021 failes here:


Can't locate object method "flush" via package "IO::Handle" at /Users/tb/projects/git/git.next/t/t0021/rot13-filter.pl line 90.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly


perl itself is 5.10 and we use the one shipped with Mac OS.
Why that ?

Thanks for reporting! It surprises me that flush is not available. I don't have a 10.6 system to tests. Where you able to reproduce the problem on a newer system with an older Perl, too?

@Martin: do you have a clue?

I can't debug the issue right now (only on mobile) but I will look into it on Friday!

t0021 uses the hard-coded path:
t0021/rot13-filter.pl (around line 345) and the nice macro
PERL_PATH from the Makefile is fully t

Can you check the line number? Rot13-filter.pl has only 192 lines. I'll look into the PERL_PATH. 

Commenting out the different "flush" makes the test hang, and I haven't digged further.

That would be expected because the pl file writes output to a file which is checked by the calling sh script.

Thanks,
Lars
