commit 8bf4c40
Author​: Yves Orton <demerphq@​gmail.com>
Date​: Mon Jun 20 22​:51​:38 2016 +0200

Change scalar\(%hash\) to be the same as 0\+keys\(%hash\)

This tests that scalar() passes through to the perl internal
definition for scalar(%hash), which changed in 5.25

like($pre_v5_8_3 ? tied(%hash)->scalar : scalar(%hash), qr{\d+/\d+},
'Standard hash​: buckets allocated in scalar context')
or diag('scalar %hash​: '
. $pre_v5_8_3 ? tied(%hash)->scalar : scalar(%hash));

It could be changed to only test the booleanness of the scalar(%hash),
or it could be taught that in 5.25 and later the return of
scalar(%hash) is supposed to be the count of keys. I note that in
other contexts it returns 0/1 so...

From @jkeenan

In Tie-REHash's bug tracker (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=115659#txn-1693542) I have presented the maintainer with Yves's options for fixing the failing test or with the option of simply deleting it.

We've communicated with all of the CPAN distros mentioned in this ticket. So I'm resolving the ticket.

Thank you very much.
