Approximately 36 tickets were reviewed, and 5 patches were applied.
I spent some time this month working on getting minitest working on Win32.
In 2004 the Win32 makefiles were changed to use harness instead of TEST for minitest, presumably at some time after that Test::Harness was changed to load IO unconditionally, breaking minitest on Win32.
So I switched minitest back to using TEST and then worked through the failing tests to resolve their failures. See [perl #123394] for details.
