For the compile.el error regexps, perl's Test.pm can add a "fail #N" if a given test line is run more than once, in a loop or subr. The `perl--Test2' could match that per below. (Still no good on bzr, so individual diffs.) 2011-03-29 Kevin Ryde * progmodes/compile.el (compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist): `perl-Test2' extend to match possible "fail #N" rep count. 2011-03-29 Kevin Ryde * compilation.txt (perl-Test2): New samples.
