Subject: Test directory stray file cgisess.db
File: CGI-Session-4.03.tar.gz uname -a: Linux flaviox 2.4.20-flavio-qos #1 Mon Nov 10 13:03:54 CET 2003 i686 unknown perl -v: This is perl, v5.8.6 built for i386-linux I had to delete the cgisess.db file that was in the "t" directory before having the test suite pass. Adding the following line diag(CGI::Session->errstr()); in "t/api3_db_file.t" just before test #9 (i.e. between lines 45 and 46) yelds: failed: load(): couldn't retrieve data: _tie_db_file(): couldn't tie 't/cgisess.db': File exists This was an hint to delete the offending file, which made the test suite happy. The tests continue to work even if that the file has been re-created. I'm marking this as "Important" because this error could prevent others from installing the module. Suggested solution: delete t/cgisess.db file from the distribution package.

Subject: make test fail - cgisess.db is "Inappropriate file type or format"
CGI-Session-4.03 Perl 5.8.7 Platform: Dec Alpha, OSF/1 Everything is fine up to 'make test', in file t/api3_db_file.t Debugging the code I discovered tie returned "Error number 79 occured", or as it says in my errno.h file "Inappropriate file type or format". Simply removing the files t/cgisess.id and t/cgisess.db solved the problem and the test passed - the file got created because it didn't already exist. All other tests passed too. I assume that because I'm on a non x86 Linux platform I got this problem?? Removing the cgisess files would be wise though :)

Subject: Won't install, bug in tests: t/cgisess.db somehow invalid
Could not install CGI::Session on Mac OS X 10.4.5, Perl 5.8.6. Following error output from tests: Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for CGI::Session Running [/usr/bin/make test]... PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/api3_db_file.................. # Failed test in t/api3_db_file.t at line 46. Can't call method "id" on an undefined value at t/api3_db_file.t line 48. After some debugging, I deleted the t/cgisess.db file. It was dated Oct 5, 2005. Running the test again recreated the file and all the tests passed. Installation was successful.
