Hi,
I've compiled Perl 5.18.1 which is bundled with IO::Socket 1.36 on AIX 7.1
TL2 SP3.
The following configure command has been used to compile Perl: /usr/bin/sh
./Configure -desr -Dprefix=/usr/local/perl-5.18.1 -Uman1direxp
-Uman3direxp -Doptimize=-O2 -Duselongdoubles -Dusethreads
After that, I've tried to install a module named Mojolicious at version
4.58 in which a test fail in t/mojo/daemon.t
The test is opening a socket without SO_REUSEPORT and validate with a
getsockopt that it's not set.
It's expecting a false boolean but doesn't get one.
Our investigation brought us into IO/Socket.pm in subroutine getsockopt()
on this condition:
$r = unpack("i", $r)
if(defined $r && length($r) == $intsize);
$r is defined andhas a length of 256
$intsize value is 4 so it's not unpacked and return something that is not
a false boolean.
If I force unpack("i", $r), the value returned is 0 and the test pass.
Question: How can we explain that the length of $r is not $intsize? Would
this require a change in IO::Socket Perl module or in my Perl compilation
procedure or somewhere else?
