Hi,

I am an Outreachy applicant interested in open source development. I have started reading through docs for this project, and noticed that many of the tests in t/ that are marked as expected to succeed are failing. Is this normal and to be expected, or is there I chance I messed something up in the build phase.

Also, for my microproject I was considering replacing some of the calls to 'test' in t/ with their debug-friendly helper functions. There seem to still be a lot of files that would qualify. Is this particular microproject still desired?

Thanks ahead of time for your help.
