This is on Fedora Linux development branch but I don't think that's a factor really.

With Mail::Mbox::MessageParser 1.5000 I get this failure:

Looks like you failed 1 test of 8.

After updating to Mail::Mbox::MessageParser 1.5002 I get more failures:

Looks like you planned 8 tests but ran 6.

Looks like you failed 2 tests of 6 run.

These additional errors are I believe due to the newly-changed behaviour of Mail::Mbox::MessageParser for empty mailboxes and thus intentional but I may be wrong about that.

Reverting the change to t/recursive.t between 5.3033 and 5.3034 fixes the t/recursive.t test failure for me.

Skipping the failing t/nonexistent_mailbox.t tests if we have Mail::Mbox::MessageParser >= 1.5002 is then enough to get things building for me.

I've repro'd the recursive.t failure, improved the test, and verified the fix. It will be in the version after 5.3100.

The nonexistent_mailbox.t bug was fixed in 5.3100, which didn't make it to CPAN due to a distribution mistake on my part.

Closing.
