p5.16-macosx-file @0.710.0_4: tests fail

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

Lots of this, probably because 64-bit Perl is being invoked to run tests requiring 32-bit bundles:

:info:test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /opt/local/bin/perl5.16 "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
:info:test Can't load '/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_larryv_Projects_MacPorts_git-svn_trunk_dports_perl_p5-macosx-file/p5.16-macosx-file/work/MacOSX-File-0.71/blib/arch/auto/MacOSX/File/Catalog/Catalog.bundle' for module MacOSX::File::Catalog: dlopen(/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_larryv_Projects_MacPorts_git-svn_trunk_dports_perl_p5-macosx-file/p5.16-macosx-file/work/MacOSX-File-0.71/blib/arch/auto/MacOSX/File/Catalog/Catalog.bundle, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:

Shoehorning an arch -i386 in front of the Perl invocation doesn’t work, even though I have perl5.16 @5.16.3_0+universal installed. I suspect that each test is run by a new Perl process, and those are being invoked 64-bit.

Not sure how to make this work without learning some Perl (ugh).

At least with the system perl, Apple has some sort of shim called "versioner" that handles 64/32-bit issues. E.g. setting the environment variable VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=yes will force the system perl to do everything 32-bit. Perhaps the MacPorts perl could use a similar shim? The source can be found in Apple's release of perl: ​http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/perl/perl-92/versioner/versioner.c

Cc Me!

Wouldn’t be a bad idea. And it would make things (read: using Perl on OS X) more consistent.

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

is this still an issue with more modern versions of perl?
