Developer version numbers on cpan testers?
Hi CPAN Testers; My tests of LaTeXML are showing warnings like: Argument 2.07_02 isn't numeric in subroutine entry at /home/cpan/pit/bare/perl-5.8.9/lib/5.8.9/File/Temp.pm line 14. usually on OpenBSD systems. These cause some tests to fail, since we're capturing STDERR to manage errors, warnings, etc. The warning above would seem to come either from some Module requiring a developer version of File::Temp, or that there is a developer version installed. My code uses File::Temp, but doesn't ask for a specific version. Is there something I should be doing differently (besides ignoring STDERR) to avoid this sensitivity or to avoid the warning? Or should I just ignore such Fails ? Thanks; bruce

This doesn't appear to be possible with the version of File::Temp that was distributed with perl 5.8.9, or with the current version on the CPAN. What version do you have installed? Can you temporarily monkey-patch it to vomit out a stack trace so you can see where it's being called from and with what arguments? -- David Cantrell | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david I remember when computers were frustrating because they did exactly what you told them to.

I see now that search.cpan *does* know about it. Is /home/cpan/pit/ one of your smokers?

It's weird as the version of File::Temp actually specifies 'use File::Path 2.06', but File::Path is at version 2.07_02 on BinGOs' system. I think the fault is in the import() of File::Path, but haven't had the opportunity to test. File::Path is now at 2.09, so my next release is forcing that as a minimum requirement, in the hope it removes the fault. Cheers, Barbie.

It's probably C $VERSION = 2.07_02 without a subsequent C $VERSION = eval $VERSION and the warning is triggered off the -VERSION check. Loading version.pm would fix that, too, by overriding UNIVERSAL::VERSION to something saner. David -- David Golden x...@xdg.me Twitter/IRC: @xdg
