Can you try ptest-runner perl? I think test name is perl.

Comment 2 yeoh ee peng 2018-01-16 04:57:03 UTC

ptest for perl is running without any issue.

Comment 3 yeoh ee peng 2018-01-16 05:31:25 UTC

As pointed out by Anuj, this is not a bug but rather an enhancement in ptest to recognize that perl5 is the same as perl (eg. perl5 -> perl) where ptest will ignore perl5 and thus ptest was only running for perl. Will close this ticket.
