Subject: File::Glob prereq version too high?
Build.PL specifies the minimum File::Glob version to be 1.24. File::Glob is part of perl and not available as a separate CPAN module, so this prerequisite effectively limits the module to be used by perl 5.22.0 and newer. However, it seems that the test suite may pass also with older perls, so probably the minimum version is not needed (or not tested in the test pass).

With the new version I see passes down to perl 5.16.x, but it seems that older perls indeed have a too old File::Glob for your module. Statistical analysis says: **************************************************************** Regression 'mod:File::Glob' **************************************************************** Name Theta StdErr T-stat [0='const'] 0.0000 0.0000 2.28 [1='eq_1.13'] 0.0000 0.0000 0.48 [2='eq_1.17'] 1.0000 0.0000 5187668762225462.00 [3='eq_1.20_01'] 1.0000 0.0000 5799989998544164.00 [4='eq_1.23'] 1.0000 0.0000 6697251573913218.00 [5='eq_1.24'] 1.0000 0.0000 7194002200894887.00 [6='eq_1.26'] 1.0000 0.0000 7194002200894889.00 [7='eq_1.28'] 1.0000 0.0000 5799989998544163.00 [8='eq_1.29'] 1.0000 0.0000 5187668762225462.00 R^2= 1.000, N= 40, K= 9 **************************************************************** ... so it seems that File::Glob's minimum version has to be set to 1.17.

For some reason it does not work. http://fast-matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Data-Table-Text%2020170816 shows FAILs for perl < 5.16 --- but it should be NA or so. Show quoted text

Yet the identical method of requesting Perl 5.16 or greater seems to work well for: http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Data-Edit-Xml+20170815

If the perl minimum specification would work here, then perl 5.14 and older should be listed with status=NA. But there are no reports for older perls at all --- the reason is that Data-Edit-Xml depends on Data-Table-Text, which does not build for 5.14 and older. In these cases CPAN Testers systems don't send reports at all.

Please tell me the correct way to request that a module not be tested on Perl less than 5.16? At the moment I *require 5.16* in the module and specify *perl=>15.16* in Build.PL. Is there somewhere else I need to add this information? On Wed, Aug 16, 2017 at 7:31 PM, Slaven_Rezic via RT < bug-Data-Table-Text@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

See http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes - section "How can I indicate that my distribution only works on certain versions of Perl?" It seems that you have to put the perl version information also into the requires hash. Show quoted text
