What other information apart from opinions would be of use?The bug concerns how the prove utility handles testing scripts directly. Anyway other members of the Debian Perl group will want to express an opinion.Did any of them do so and simply fail to Cc -release? :-)I only mentioned it because you said they would want to express their opinion. ;-):)I looked into this issue now. Disclaimer/summary: I'm confused :)The options seem to be to take either the new 3.22 release or create a huge patch by taking several commits (mentioned in the first mail to this bug). Looks both not really attractive. Looking at the diff at http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=Test-Harness-3.21&to=Test-Harness-3.22&w=1 doesn't also really help due to it's size. More interesting is a look at the two original upstream reports: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=59186 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=59457 Both tickets mention a fix in one commit: * 59186 -> http://github.com/AndyA/Test-Harness/commit/80cf0384667d8bc7e95c2b0565827292aacab139 (and for the test: probably http://github.com/AndyA/Test-Harness/commit/a794796d6780f4438bb492bf87ed14982a5357dd and http://github.com/AndyA/Test-Harness/commit/3a934f897b6a9d1d91afbeca21616e4c729f344f and http://github.com/AndyA/Test-Harness/commit/6ca9bf39fed165755033e824b895edea1cac21a7 ) * 59457 -> http://github.com/AndyA/Test-Harness/commit/6703fdc01e152df672047400364b227a172449e2 I have no idea if this is enough or not; Nicholas and v.nix.is, what do you think? Cheers, gregor, who hopes that someone else would also take a look into this issue
