Subject:

build failed with Digest::SHA >= 5.38

I'm trying building PAR 0.92/0.93 on FreeBSD 6.x/7.x with Digest::SHA 5.39 (or 5.38) installed. Build will fail, the log can be viewed at http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.6.2006031421/p5-PAR-0.92.log If I use Digest::SHA 5.37, then everything will be fine.

I'm also seeing this problem under Ubuntu Linux. I removed the if block around line 489 and added the following line as a temporary measure: $ctx->addfile($progname) if ($ctx); This is probably a bug in Digest::SHA which changed the functionality of addfile() in v5.38. The line in addfile() which checks if a ref is being passed in makes the $file param a reference so that it is no longer a GLOB and therefore breaks PAR. William

Much thanks for pointing this out and fixing it. The author of Digest::SHA has confirmed that this is a bug in Digest::SHA 5.38 and 5.39. He has not released a fixed version to CPAN yet. I have included a workaround (similar to the one above) into the subversion version of PAR which will eventually become PAR 0.94. You can get a working copy of the repository with the command "svn checkout http://svn.openfoundry.org/par" (You can use the svk tool as well.) I'm not sure when I will be able to release PAR 0.94. It might be a bit until I have the time to do a proper release. Steffen
