ph.t failure in lsb-test-perl

Hi folks,

I'm trying to understand a failure I'm seeing with the LSB
port of the 
Perl test suite, for distribution testing.  For the majority
of platforms 
I have handy, ph.t exits early due to lack of one or another
of the .ph 
files and just gives 84 "oks". One platform
actually has the .ph files 
though, and fails test 5 due to main::INADDR_ANY() not being
defined.

So, my question is, is this truly a failure, or could/should
INADDR_ANY be 
added to %ok_to_miss?

Thanks

Hi Stew,
since Perl's build process appears to never generate .ph
files, as far
as I can tell, this test is obsolete and doesn't test
anything.
(Moreover, a look to the VCS shows that it has never been
touched.)
I'm going to remove it. We'll devise a proper test for h2ph
later.

Thanks Rafael,

I'll disable or remove it in the lsb-perl-test package too.
