I'm not sure what's going wrong here. The way XPA is supposed to work is that whenever an XPA server starts (in this case xpamb) it starts up a name server (the xpans process) and XPA clients talk to it to find the servers. The error message indicates that the xpans process is not being started up, which is why the tests fail, and which is why the -exit command is never being sent to xpamb, which is what should cause xpamb to exit. I'll have to get access to a Windows box to further diagnose this...

I've incorporated your changes from https://github.com/djerius/Alien-XPA/pull/1 and made a couple of other fixes. version 0.02-TRIAL has been pushed to CPAN. We'll see how that fares. Thanks!

It does not seem to have fared well at all on your smokers. Would you please be so kind as to take a look at them and let me know what happened? Thanks, Diab

There are several errors: 1. Undefined subroutine &main::test_requires called at Makefile.PL line 85. 2. Win32::Process::NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS+Win32::Process::CREATE_NO_WINDOW should be Win32::Process::NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS|Win32::Process::CREATE_NO_WINDOW | instead of +, otherwise it is interpreted as Win32::Process::NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS(Win32::Process::CREATE_NO_WINDOW()). 3. It still reports "Bail out! unable to access launched xpamb". But does not hang. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

Thanks. I prematurely uploaded a release which fixes (1) before I saw this reply. I'll fix (2) and upload a new release. As for (3)? I'm not sure how to proceed. At least it doesn't hang any more!
