Hi, This is a bit strange.In 0.54_01 top level Makefile.PL, I've replaced the old code that handled the conditional loading of {Test::Warn=>$twv} into PREREQ_PM, with a cleaner rendition. (See attached patch.)
In a nutshell, this new rendition is:
###########################
my $twv = $] > 5.013 ? 0.23 : 0.21;
my $prereq_pm = {
Data::Dumper => 2.09,
Digest::MD5 => 2.09,
Parse::RecDescent => 1.80,
File::Spec => 0.8,
Test::Warn => $twv,
};
delete $prereq_pm->{'Test::Warn'} if $] <= 5.007;
###########################
But now, for the first time, I'm seeing test failures on 5.16.3 because
Test::Warn is not getting loaded. Furthermore, these failing reports specify
*no* prerequisites:
[quote] ------------------------------ PREREQUISITES ------------------------------ Prerequisite modules loaded: No requirements found ------------------------------ [/quote] That's rubbish - Parse::RecDescent is *always* a pre-requisite.I surmise that it must be this revised code that is causing this error to arise .... though I'm buggered if I can see how that could be.
To date this has happened in only 2 cases - both 5.16.3, from different testers, different systems:
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/9f275d62-7864-1014-ad6f-831c93e8ee67 http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/8bdf6702-bdd8-11e3-8a89-eea0f1eb6092 I don't have 5.16.3 installed. Any insights into what's going awry ?Otherwise I'll just revert it to the old code (whose only problems were its long-windedness and lack of sophistication).
Of those 2 failing reports, the first comes from Christian Walde.He also tested 0.54 a few days ago with what looks to me to be the very same smoker. There were no problems then as regards getting the prereqs set correctly:
[quote] ------------------------------ PREREQUISITES ------------------------------ Prerequisite modules loaded: requires: Module Need Have ------------------- ---- -------- Data::Dumper 2.09 2.139 Digest::MD5 2.09 2.52 File::Spec 0.8 3.40 Parse::RecDescent 1.8 1.967009 Test::Warn 0.23 0.30 build_requires: Module Need Have ------------------- ---- -------- ExtUtils::MakeMaker 0 6.63_02 ------------------------------ [/quote] That report (which contains a different failure) can be found in full at: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/63a42468-770a-1014-9b4d-7b2a93e8ee67 Cheers,Rob
