I know the pre-release phase has been long and drawn out, and it's not over yet. Hopefully it won't be (over) until we nab the remaining test failures. Most of the Tie::File tests fail for reasons that we know about but haven't fixed yet. Anyone who has time to work on any other test failure

Apparent error in new MakeMaker test

2003-06-09 Thread Mark Berryman
I attempted to install the new MakeMaker 6.10-06 on a Perl V5.6.1 system and received many errors during the test portion due to the fact that the test assumed the presence of MMS when I was using MMK. The following is a sample of the output: t/basic. Use of uninitialized value in spl
