The tests are running locally on the Mac after logging in over SSH. I'm wondering if Perl is the problem. I had to cut-over to OpenSSL 1.1 due to deprecation of 1.0.2. OpenSSL 1.1 increased Perl requirements, so now I have to build Perl, too. Previously I was not building Perl. I'm installing Perl 5.30.1, but it is a minimal install. I only install Text::Template Test::More (plus whatever else Perl installs on its own from cspan). However I could not install HTTP::Daemon HTTP::Request. There's some bug in the cspan installer. It gets stuck on one package and tries to download/install it over and over again. Do you know if Git is using one of Perl's Text:: packages for the test? Jeff
