How to rerun test while installing perl via perlbrew fails?

Question

I installing perl-5.28.1 via perlbrew. Some tests fail:

../cpan/Tie-RefHash/t/storable.t ................................... ok
../cpan/Tie-RefHash/t/threaded.t ................................... skipped: -- threads aren't enabled in your perl, or Scalar::Util::weaken is missing
#   Failed test 'timelocal year for 1970 1 2 0 0 0'
#   at t/Local.t line 109.
#          got: '170'
#     expected: '70'

#   Failed test 'timegm year for 1970 1 2 0 0 0'
#   at t/Local.t line 124.
#          got: '170'
#     expected: '70'
# Looks like you failed 2 tests of 187.
../cpan/Time-Local/t/Local.t .......................................

How to rerun only this failed test?

Answer 1

To run a single one of perl 's test file, you can use

t/TEST ../cpan/Time-Local/t/Local.t

This would be run from the following directory:

cd "${PERLBREW_ROOT:-$HOME/perl5/perlbrew}"
cd build/perl-5.x.y/perl-5.x.y

See the What if make test doesn't work? section of the INSTALL file in the same folder for more on testing perl .
