Subject:

infinite loop during test

This test hangs: [guillomovitch@n2 PAR-0.976]$ prove -b t/50-autoloaderfix.t t/50-autoloaderfix....Test header seen more than once! strace show the test loops on stating itself (see attached trace). I'm using perl 5.8.8, on mandriva linux (cooker).

Thanks for the bug report. This whole autoloader issue is quite delicate, so perhaps I did something wrong when I wrote the test. Which version of AutoLoader are you using? You should have 5.63 (and it should also be loaded by default, try perl -MAutoLoader -e 'print $AutoLoader::VERSION."\n"'), otherwise PAR may not work in some situations anyway. Best regards, Steffen

Indeed, updating AutoLoader fix the issue. But I'm perplex why this versioned dependency was not properly detected by running perl Makefile.PL, despite being specified therein :/
