Bug Information
Severity: (no value)
Broken in: 1.5.8
Fixed in: 1.5.10



Subject: Does not compile with newer perls (1.5.9)
See subject. The problem is best visualized on http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=MathML-itex2MML+1.5.9 --- there are no pass reports for perl >= 5.20.
I just tried installing with Perl 5.28.1. ~~~~~~ cpan[6]> install MathML::itex2MML Warning: Cannot install MathML::itex2MML, don't know what it is. ~~~~~~ By contrast, MathML::Entities installs just fine. So I'm a little puzzled...

Maybe the CPAN index on your machine is too old? Maybe a "reload index" helps here?

Hmm. Thought I'd already done that. This time, the re-indexing took. Anyway, the problem seems to have been using too old a version of SWIG to generate the wrapper file. Updating to the latest SWIG and regenerating the wrapper produces something that builds and passes tests under Perl 5.28.1. Third time's the charm?
