Thanks, this will be fixed in the next release.
Show quoted text> Oh, and while I'm reporting, are you absolutely sure you need to test 36,000 palindromes, 16,000 "roman" ( numerals? ), 20,000 gopher values etc etc? It takes a VERY long time to install Regexp::Common these days.
Whether something is needed is a very subjective matter. I don't think
I "need" tests at all. I don't think I "need" the module at all. But
those thousands of tests has helped catching bugs, so I don't think I
will remove them any time soon. If you don't want to run tests, you can
always do: "perl Makefile.pl && make && make install".
That a module isn't installed in a flash (what is very long anyway? Even
on my laptop that's a few years old it takes less than 2 minutes) isn't
something that bothers me. Installing new software is a relative rare
event. Get a cup of coffee, hug your cat, answer mail in another window -
the test suite runs fine without the need of human interaction.
