This seems to be caused by #22507: !$p->depth==1. I guess this is a true positive, but neither interpretation seems very logical to me. Needs a ticket for sure in XML::Twig.

I'm puzzled by why you think we need a ticket in XML::Twig. It's passing all its tests. Can you clarify? Thanks.

The warning comes from XML::Twig. But DBD::XMLSimple is checking for warnings in its test, so then the (non-fatal) suddenly becomes a test failure.

<mauke>   if( !$p->depth==1)
<mauke> yeah, that doesn't really make sense, but I can't tell what the intention was
<mauke> semantically, it's equivalent to if ($p->depth == 0)
<mauke> hah, this is in an if(  $t->{twig_root_depth} and ($p->depth == $t->{twig_root_depth}) ) block, so this condition is never true

[demerphq]

My brain parses that as unless ($p->depth == 1) { ... }, but of course that isnt what the code does.
