Due to circumstances outside of my control, much of my development time
currently is being spent working within a perl 5.005.03 environment. In
this environment, I have found some problems with POE::Kernel and the
passing of arguments to the import method of Time::HiRes. The code in
question ...
BEGIN {
local $SIG{'__DIE__'} = 'DEFAULT';
# POE runs better with Time::HiRes, but it also runs without it.
eval {
require Time::HiRes;
Time::HiRes->import qw(time sleep);
};
.
.
This is resulting in an error under my build of perl. The fix I used for
this was to change the import line to the following:
Time::HiRes->import( 'time', 'sleep' );
Additionally, the version of Fcntl.pm on this machine does not define 'mode'
as a valid export under %EXPORT_TAGS - This resulted in tests 08 and 14 to
fail. I have not as yet dug any deeper into the source of
POE::Wheel::FollowTail to correct this.
