Math-Random-MT-Auto-4.08.00.tar.gz

As in previous versions, make test show a lot of NOK
maybe because I use a 64 bit int compiled perl.
Does anyone could correct this?
TIA,

The module's documentation suggests that 64-bit perl should *not* pose a
problem:

-- quote --
"If Perl has been compiled to support 64-bit integers (do perl -V and look
for use64bitint=define), then this module will use a 64-bit-integer version
of the Mersenne Twister, thus providing 64-bit random integers and 52-bit
random doubles. The size of integers returned by "irand", and used by
"get_seed" and "set_seed" will be sized accordingly."
-- end quote --

However, there may well be some bug in the test scripts that causes those
'NOK' results. It might make things a little easier for us if you could post
the results of 'make test'.

Cheers,
Rob

Here is an example:

# Failed test (t/02-gaussian.t at line 64)

# Failed test (t/02-gaussian.t at line 64)

a lot of this messages (thousands)...

Thanks for your help. Cheers

Hmmm .... doesn't really help much.

For me, in 02-gaussian.t :

62: for (1 .. $CNT) {
63: eval { $x = gaussian(10); };
64: if ($@) {
65: fail('gaussian(10) failed: ' . $@);
66: }

But I don't see anything that looks like $@ in what you have reported. What
happens when you run:

perl -Mblib t/02-gaussian.t

First thing to do is to find out what $@ contains.

Cheers,
Rob
