Subject: Error when running under Devel::Cover
When running my regression test under Devel::Cover I run into a problem with Readonly. I have boiled it dowm to a small test script: Show quoted text
> perl --version
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i686-linux ... Show quoted text
> perl readonly_devel_cover.pl
asdf Show quoted text
> perl -MDevel::Cover readonly_devel_cover.pl

Readonly croaks with 'Invalid tie' when it thinks Readonly-type ties are being made from outside of Readonly itself. It's an unfortunate paranoia check that really only trips us up when something modifies the value of caller() (Devel::Cover, Devel::NYTProf, etc. do this) and we're using a pre-v5.8.8 version of perl. If it were purely up to me, I'd downgrade it from croak to carp as it's not very useful and gives users no clue about *why* the tie is invalid but since it only really crops up on perl built before Jan 2006, I'll leave it alone. ...for now. :\ Thanks for the report, btw. Sorry it's taken so long (8 years!) for anyone to get back to you. -- Sanko Robinson sanko@cpan.org
