Subject: test failure with CPAN.pm 1.88_79 (and upcoming 1.90)
Hi Jochen, I'm sorry that I must inform you that one of your tests conflicts with the way how CPAN.pm works in the development track 1.88_79 and upcoming 1.90. Your test relies that it is running in a directory named Getopt-ArgvFile-1.10. With the new CPAN.pm this directory gets a different name: Getopt-ArgvFile-1.10-XXXXXX where XXXXXX is a random string chosen by File::Temp. It's a bit late that I discover this now. The strategic decision was to make the build directory safe against concurrent usage. I could have chosen to choose a name like Getopt-ArgvFile-1.10-XXXXXX/Getopt-ArgvFile-1.10 but I'm not fond of this solution. Besides, one could argue that such a test is not very robust and shoud be rewritten anyway because it cannot be run in any environment that moves test scripts to a different place (say for later re-testing) I hope this is OK for you and I'm sorry that this means that you will get bug reports that are my fault:-( Let me know what you think... Regards,

Hi Andreas, many thanks for your message. I did not expect this directory scheme could change ;-) but it is no problem as all that was intended was to check if the module can follow relative pathes. I modified the test and uploaded a maintenance release 0.11 which should work with CPAN 1.90. Regards Jochen
