Description wangyi 2016-04-01 07:09:22 UTC 
When i run perl ptest cases on my device, i found it hung at modules nntp_ipv6.t,pop3_ipv6.t,and smpt_ipv6.t. When test hung, i inputted "ps aux | grep perl" by another termimal, i found some processes which did not quit. if i kill these processes by manual, the test will be going and at this moment, the log file outputted these cases fail.So i modified wait() to kill() in these module files, and run test.The test failed but not hung.

not a Minnow specific bug, punting back to PC

An old bug, please check if it's reproducible on master and perhaps older supported releases.

I wrote a new ptest-runner in C to avoid being blocked by some ptest package when fail and don't end the process, you will see TIMEOUT keyword into the ptest perl package.

But anyway the perl ptest need to be fixed.

Status repor for ptest only have one failure for perl
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Ptest_2679a347c576f5411fbe802d2f6201c94036ecb2
I took a look on the logs for this, several test cases for perl are 'skipped' however I found this one as failure:
FAIL: t/porting/customized, under BEGIN: /usr/lib/perl/ptest

bug 8656 is also for the ptest perl failures and has enough information. Closing this as duplicate.
