RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Petr Pisar 2020-02-26 11:16:12 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1807120 +++

Rebuilding perl-5.26.3-416.el8 from sources fails because a ../cpan/Time-Local/t/Local.t test fails like this:

../cpan/Time-Local/t/Local.t ....................................... 
Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
Failed 2/187 subtests 
        (less 8 skipped subtests: 177 okay)
[...]
Test Summary Report
-------------------
../cpan/Time-Local/t/Local.t                                     (Wstat: 512 Tests: 187 Failed: 2)
  Failed tests:  6, 12
  Non-zero exit status: 2

That's a bug in the test that manifests since the beginning of 2020 year and fix exist in later upstream versions. I ported the fix to perl-5.28.2 in Fedora <https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/perl/raw/f30/f/perl-5.28.2-Only-pass-2-digit-years-to-tests-when-testing-2-digi.patch> and it should be possible port it to 5.26.3 in RHEL.

perl:5.24 is also affected.

Petr,
Thank you for posting this patch. I'm new to using patches and was hoping that you would provide instructions for how you used the patch for perl 5.28.2. Do I need to make these changes manually, or can I use the patch function so it's done automatically? In the latter case, I was hoping that you would provide an example of what you ran to get the patch to work properly. I tried earlier and it didn't work. Thank you for you time
-Steve

Petr,
I hand edited the file and followed these steps and I was able to get perl installed:

upload perl-5.30.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf perl-5.30.1.tar.gz
cd perl-5.28.2
find . -exec touch {} \;
cd /gpfs/scratch/sjfleck/modulefiles/perl-5.28.2/cpan/Time-Local/t/
chmod -777 Local.t
rm Local.t
*upload edited Local.t
chmod -444 Local.t
./Configure -des -Dprefix=/user/sjfleck/localperl
make
make test
	#All tests successful.
	#Elapsed: 881 sec
	#u=6.43  s=4.49  cu=417.23  cs=78.41  scripts=2456  tests=1157715
make install

wget https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/perl/raw/f30/f/perl-5.28.2-Only-pass-2-digit-years-to-tests-when-testing-2-digi.patch
tar xzf perl-5.28.2.tar.gz
cd perl-5.28.2
patch -p1 <../perl-5.28.2-Only-pass-2-digit-years-to-tests-when-testing-2-digi.patch
Comment 8 Petr Pisar 2021-01-15 12:01:45 UTC 
perl:5.24 stream ends its life in May, 2021 <https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel8-app-streams-life-cycle>. That coincides with the next RHEL 8 minor release. Therefore there is no point in updating perl:5.24.
