OK, i ran this, exactly same code as you wrote above and got:

Re^3: Problem compiling Perl 5.14.2 - op/stat.t test 37 failed
by Eliya (Vicar) on May 30, 2012 at 12:36 UTC

    The test runs ls -l /dev 2>/dev/null (which is different from find /dev/ -type c in that it isn't recursive); so check what its output is.

    Or simply print out @c1 in the test, and look for which (presumably fake) entry ends with " 0" and starts with a "c".  (For example, in my case there is a line "total 0" — but as the latter starts with a "t", it doesn't interfere with the test...)

    In other words, my guess would be this is something silly you need not really worry about, provided it's the only test that fails...

      Hey! THX i found it :D It problem in Czech localized output from this command:

      ls -l /dev 2>/dev/null

      Output

      [tom@alarmpi perl-5.14.2]$ ls -l /dev 2>/dev/null celkem 0 crw------- 1 root root 10, 235 1. led 1970 autofs drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 620 30. kvě 09.59 block drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 30. kvě 09.59 bsg

      The first line is "celkem" that means total in english and begins with c. So, please correct it and remove the first line from the test and post a patch please :)
