Hi Tim- Thanks for the report.
PDL::IO::Browser is an optional build for the current PDL. I've done some work on the build process so it actually should build for many platforms if enabled in perldl.conf but not enough testing to enable for all. (I would really prefer a next-generation version that could display/explore more than just 2D piddles). As for File::Map, it is the basis of the new mapfraw and mapflex implementation for memory-mapped file IO. It is listed as a CPAN dependency so automated tools should install it before the build. However, for back compatibility (until things are fully checked out), the legacy POSIX mmap code will be used if File::Map is not detected. That is why the build still passed those tests. Of course, for win32 platforms, they now can use memory mapped file IO which was never available before.... :-) --Chris On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 10:55 AM, Tim Haines <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings, all. > > Regression testing CHM/PDL-2.4.10_005.tar.gz on Ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.2.0-24 > x86_64 with Perl 5.14.2 (x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi): > > No PDL::IO::Browser (all others present).
