Subject: [Perldl] new mapflex/mapfraw implementation in PDL git
I'm happy to announce that the first cut at a working
implementation for PDL memory-mapped IO using the
File::Map module has been completed and pushed to
PDL git.
Can't anyone write a perl module these days without invoking a tedious
dependency chain of non-core modules ?
You haven't tried installing File::Map on 5.8.0, have you ;-)
One needs to update Exporter to at least 5.57, but that's impossible afaict.
Make sure there are no loaded weapons handy if you do give it a try.
Sorry - it's too long a story ... the best solution is to just start the
top-level PDL Makefile.PL with 'use 5.10;'. (For windows users, there's
probably no point in going back beyond 5.10 anyway.)
I also have a *lot* of trouble with the PerlIO-Layers dependency (where
I've been trying to install version 0.008 of that module).
On 5.8.0 (32-bit) its unusable because an Exporter dependency can not be
met.
On 5.8.9 (32-bit) it passes fine.
On 5.10.0 (both 32-bit and 64-bit) it fails some of its tests - but I
installed it anyway.
On 5.12.0 (both 32-bit and 64-bit) it passes fine.
On 5.14.0, 32-bit fails its tests but 64-bit passes. (I installed it on
both.)
On 5.15.9 it fails tests(both 32-bit and 64-bit) - where I again installed
it anyway.
Of the above-mentioned perl versions, File-Map-0.46 fails all of its tests
on 5.8.0 (because the Exporter dependency is unmet.)
But it passes its tests on all other builds of perl mentioned above.
I'll try to build to build the current git version of perl (on everything
but 5.8.0) tomorrow ...
Cheers,
Rob
