Already set up Perl 6 smoke testing, why not Perl 5 too?
How hard can it be? :-)
All caught up with backlog (happened some time back in 2020?) and now using v5.36 for testing (except for a few cases where PDL required, because I cannot get it to work on my creaky old macOS).
Mostly keeping up with new tasks as they appear on Rosetta-Code. Sort of. As an experiment, adding new tasks with v5.36 as a requirement. No one has complained so far. Gotta move forward...
Worked through the backlog of existing tasks, and now adding missing ones, where it makes sense. Initially, testing against the recently-released 5.28 version of Perl. Once the first pass of all tasks is complete, will then switch to testing against blead.
Will be done by Christmas.
Re-using my own set of programs (here) from the Perl 6 smoke testing project, with slight modifications.
Relying on Thundergnat's very flexible Rosettacode task Run examples to efficiently handle cases where the task has multiple code sections, and to verify that what I put up on RC actually works correctly.
