Subject: Class::Loader and Data::Dumper
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2015 16:15:47 +0300
To: bug-Class-Loader [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Thanos Chatziathanassiou <tchatzi [...] arx.net>
Hey, I think I've discovered a case where Class::Loader fails and produces a rather cryptic error message: If someone has tinkered with Data::Dumper options, in particular $Data::Dumper::Pad, Class::Loader dies a horrible death without any indication of what went wrong. eg ``Unable to load module Crypt::Random::Provider::devurandom - at /usr/local/share/perl5/Crypt/Random.pm line 51.'' Granted, code that tinkers with $Data::Dumper::Pad, should probably local()ize this behavior, but shouldn't perhaps Class::Loader do the same ? It's not that big a deal, but if someone stumbles upon it, one's in for quite some head scratching. Best Regards, Thanos Chatziathanassiou
