Subject: | CPAN::Site::Index::package_inventory() has problem with Text-PDF-0.29a.tar.gz |
The current release of the Text-PDF distro has something odd going on
such that the inspect_entry() subroutine doesn't properly find all the
package statements, in particular the Text::PDF package is not found.
In CPAN::Site::Index::inspect_entry() there is a while loop:
while($out_buf =~ s/^([^\n]*)\n//)
I did some investigation about what the regex in that loop matches, and
it seems like the Text-PDF-0.29a distro has a few cases where the
"package" statement has a bunch of unusual characters right before -
perhaps nulls? This could be the result of some odd tar format, but I
don't know.
I've attached the Text-PDF distro tarball.
I also might have a patch to contribute, but I need to test it some more
and get permission from $work to release it.
