Subject: Dependency on Test::Unit problematic
Test::Unit had its last stable release in 2005 and does not install cleanly on modern perl installations (5.14 and later). See http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Test-Unit%200.25 for a pass/fail test overview. Maybe it would be good to switch to a supported test module, or use simply Test::More. Regards, Slaven

Hmm, has there been any discussion anywhere about someone else taking over Test::Unit, and/or what it would take to get it running on modern perls? It's probably something simple, and I rely on Test::Unit for a commercial project, so it may just be easier for me to take over maintenance of Test::Unit, and get it running properly on modern perl.

Adopting Test-Unit would be an even better solution. It seems that there's a newer devel version (see https://metacpan.org/release/MCAST/Test-Unit-0.25_1325 ), but even this one does not test cleanly for perl 5.16 and newer. Regards, Slaven Show quoted text
