I've been having a devil of a time chasing this bug down. I watched Elliot Shank have the problem, add some diagnostic printing to CPAN::Testers::Report, and then have no problem.
It was a complete WTF! moment. Someone with the repeatable problem, please try removing the "use base" line from CPAN::Testers::Report and doing it manually with two statements ("use ..." and "our @ISA = ..."). That's a wild guess -- not a confirmed fix. If someone can give me shell access to a machine that consistently shows the problem, that would help. -- David On Sun, Jul 25, 2010 at 5:59 PM, M W487 <mw487.yahoo....@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, but no go. > > I was using Metabase::Fact 0.016.
