Subject: Endless loop
(This is with version 1.9258 and perl 5.6.2) See the attached file for a typescript with another endless loop. I cannot see a cause for the loop, both the Devel::StackTrace and Class::Data::Inheritable builds look OK to me. I think CPAN.pm should be able to detect such loops: for every module which entered one of the build phases entering the same build phase again should be an error and abort the build. Also, I think that CPAN.pm should not trust the result of "make test" for the availibility of a module. Maybe CPAN.pm should check immediately after the test phase if a module may be required, and if not, generate an error; this can be also be done after the install phase. Regards, Slaven
