I believe that I have identified two bugs in
Text::MicroMason::Cache::File relating to cache expiry:
1) The 'file change' test ($entry->[1] < $mtime) has the inequality the
wrong way round (I think, this sort of thing makes my head hurt!) thanks
to -M producing weird values, for example ones that are negative for files
modified after the program started. In practice this means that a
component, once cached, will never be recompiled.
2) When used in conjunction with Text::MicroMason::TemplateDir,
Cache::File sees filenames without template_root added. Attempts to use
these with -M fail. This means, even with 1) fixed, that a cached
component accessed via template_root will still never be recompiled.
Bug 2) is a particular pain when developing a Catalyst site using
Text::MicroMason!
Attached are a test, based on 34-compile_cache.t, showing both of these
problems and a trivial patch to resolve the first of these. I've no idea
how to go about fixing the second problem.
Jon.
