| Subject: | [PATCH] Problem with FreeBSD's BSDPAN |
The attached patch against Safe 2.16 solves a problem with safeload.t
and FreeBSD's BSDPAN system. BSDPAN is a collection of modules which
overwrite standard CORE modules like MakeMaker.pm and Config.pm and is
part of the standard FreeBSD perl port.
The problem manifests like in this test report:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/02/msg1026772.html
The BSDPAN/Config.pm module needs to access @INC, which it cannot in a
safe compartment, which eventually leads to the endless loop. The
attached patch just shares @main::INC to the compartment if it detects
that it runs under the BSDPAN system (BSDPAN is in @INC).

Slaven
