If individual tests fail, you can often run them by hand (from the main
perl directory), e.g.,
- ./perl -MTestInit t/op/groups.t

You should also read the individual tests to see if there are any helpful
comments that apply to your system. You may also need to setup your

-Perl 5.27.6 is not binary compatible with earlier versions of Perl.
+Perl 5.29.9 is not binary compatible with earlier versions of Perl.
In other words, you will have to recompile your XS modules.
In general, you can usually safely upgrade from one version of Perl
libraries after 5.6.0, but not for executables. TODO?) One convenient
way to do this is by using a separate prefix for each version, such as
- sh Configure -Dprefix=/opt/perl5.27.6
+ sh Configure -Dprefix=/opt/perl5.29.9
-and adding /opt/perl5.27.6/bin to the shell PATH variable. Such users
+and adding /opt/perl5.29.9/bin to the shell PATH variable. Such users
may also wish to add a symbolic link /usr/local/bin/perl so that
scripts can still start with #!/usr/local/bin/perl.
subversions may not have all the compatibility wrinkles ironed out
yet.
