Created by @FGasper

The tests for IO::Die fail on 5.24 in El Capitan. The failure is
in test_chown().

The issue is NOT in IO::Die; I tried the Perl built-in at that point
in the tests and found the same failure.

Could you supply the output of 'perl -V' for that machine?

Thank you very much.

Invalid argument

(To get the test to run you have to be running as root, of course.)

chown works fine for me on OS X El Capitan:

neptune:perl tony$ ls -lnd .
drwxr-xr-x 303 501 20 10302 14 Nov 10:20 .
neptune:perl tony$ ls -ld foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 0 14 Nov 10:20 foo
neptune:perl tony$ sudo ~/perl/5.24.0/bin/perl -e 'chown(501, -1, "foo") or die "chown: $!"'
neptune:perl tony$ ls -ln foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 501 20 0 14 Nov 10:20 foo
neptune:perl tony$ ~/perl/5.24.0/bin/perl -v

This is perl 5, version 24, subversion 0 (v5.24.0) built for darwin-2level

...
neptune:perl tony$ ls -l foo

You've apparently debugged this enough to find out what the parameters to chown() are, but haven't provided that information.

Please provide a simple self-contained sample that demonstrates the problem.

===============
use File::Temp;

my $dummy = 'nobody';

my $nobody_gid = ( getgrnam $dummy )[2];
print "GID: [$nobody_gid]\n";

my ( $fh, $file ) = File::Temp::tempfile( CLEANUP => 1 );

chown( -1, $nobody_gid, $fh ) or die "chown fh: $!";

It works in 5.22 but is broken in 5.24:

It turns out this is a duplicate of #128967

This has been fixed in blead, but not in maint-5.24.

The fix is listed in the 5.24 votes file, but I'm not sure whether maint-5.24 is
considered frozen.

5.24.1 is frozen to include just security fixes. 5.24.2 has yet to be
voted fully on.
