Hello Fellows,
RT 122296 (year 2014)

I'm trying to build Perl 5.28.0 on OpenBSD 6.4 -current (snapshot november 03, 2018) but with only 99.96% success.
That is because when testing I get:
Running ./perl harness on t/run/locale.t, I get:Failed 1 test out of 2459, 99.96% okay. run/locale.t
$ cd src/perl-5.28.0 $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH; cd t; ./perl harness +t/run/locale.t run/locale.t .. 2/? # Failed test 8 - In setting complicated invalid L +C_ALL, final individ category doesn't need a ';' at run/locale.t line + 482 # got "65280" # expected "0" # Failed test 9 - In setting complicated valid LC_ALL, final individ c +ategory doesn't need a ';' at run/locale.t line 491 # got "65280" # expected "0" run/locale.t ..

Following the "make test" section of the INSTALL document (in perl source code), I tried without success the setting:
Then I found this post where Karl Williamson wrote:LC_ALL=C;export LC_ALL
"locale tests can fail for a number of reasons. There could be a bug in
perl; there could be a bug in the platform; there could be a bug in a
particular locale definition."

Now I'm confused and want to ask for some enlightenment.
I could install Perl and there will be no problem at all, maybe.
Just in case, my Configure arguments:
