Subject: Spectrum::CLI specroot option processing
* CLI.pm (new): check for path is (m|^/|), but $_ is not set. Given the structure, we need to check $_[0] instead: else { # scalar if ( $_[0] =~ m|^/| ) { # it's an absolute path Otherwise, the SPECROOT option is not properly checked. Additionally, the documentation states: SPECROOT value You may pass a string specifying the absolute path to the "vnmsh" directory. It should point to a directory which contains the "vnmsh" sub-directory. (It is not necessary to pass this argument if either the SPECROOT or SPEC_ROOT environment variables are set.) However, in the code, "vnmsh" is never appeneded to this value if it's passed in via the subroutine constructor, as it is if the SPECROOT value is read from the environment. Either "vnmsh" needs to be appended or the documentation should be updated to indicate that the value is not the SPECROOT, but rather the full path to the vnmsh directory. Work-around is simply setting the environment variable for the module to use, rather than passing it into the constructor.
