In 0.48 the behavior of Test::Simple/More/Builder with regard to threads
will change.
Previously, if you were using a perl >= 5.8.0 and have ithreads compiled,
loading Test::More would load threads and threads::shared. This was to
avoid the problem of a user doing this:
use Test::More;
use threads;
and then wondering why the test output was confused. Test::More must know
threads are enabled when it compiles so it can share the appropriate
variables.
Unfortunately, this makes it impossible to use Test::More or any
Test::Builder derived module to explicitly test code with threads off on an
ithread enabled Perl. I discovered this problem when I tried to test
threads::shared without threads.pm loaded. Couldn't do it. Had to use
Test.pm.
As the current attempt at DWIM leaves Test::Builder unable to test a certain
class of code, it must be changed. It will be necessary to load threads.pm
before Test::More or Test::Builder if you wish to use threads in your tests.
use threads;
use Test::More;
