Re: ahoy! gold gold gold gold alpha and a bottle o rum
FWIW, I'm running a direct comparison of 0.2808_01 against 0.2808_05 against Eric's list of distributions using Module::Build. (Perl 5.10.0 on linux) The _01 run finished this morning and the _05 run should finish some time tomorrow. (There are about 2000 more reports to generate and the smoker is running about 3 dists per minute, unless hangs for a manual prompt.) When it's done, I'll have a directory of all test reports generated from each run and it will be pretty trivial to do a direct comparison dist by dist, plus the full test output will be available for each. Not sure if you want to wait or not, but there was a request for something a bit more structured and I wanted to let you know that it's in progress. -- David On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 9:25 PM, Ken Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 2:15 AM, Eric Wilhelm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Arr, she has left the dock.

It's fine with me if you override it, but be aware that you're way into unsupported-land. Frankly, there are a lot of private, undocumented methods that I would like to see made public and documented. Just taking a quick look, these methods look to me like they'd be useful as public, override- able methods: _backticks() _pod_parse() _write_data() _enum_prereqs() _home_dir() _find_by_file_type() _find_pods() _add_to_manifest() _do_in_dir() _main_docfile() _write_default_maniskip() _files_in() _read_manifest() _resolve_module_versions() _relpaths() Some of these I've overridden, some I have not. Maybe some should stay private, but surely for others there's no harm in making them public, yes? Best, David
