Does not work on 5.6.2

http://bbbike.radzeit.de/~slaven/cpantestersmatrix.cgi?dist=PEVANS/CPS-0.02 illustrates where the FAILs are. If you do not want or cannot support 5.6.2 please decalre it in your Makefile.PL with a simple 'use 5.008' as described here: http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes Thanks!

Yes, I noticed them. I suspect that's related to the Scalar::Util::weaken() I introduced in 0.02. Perhaps perls that old don't like it? I wonder if you happen to know of a 5.6.x workaround for weaken()? If not, I'll just have to go with requiring at least 5.8. I suspect given 5.10's been around for long enough, people will start dropping support for 5.6. Still, I'd like to not actually break it if it's easy enough to avoid... -- Paul Evans

You could skip the leaktest in 5.6. -- andreas

Thing is... if the test is failing, then surely this is indicating an actual leak? Half the point of me writing kwhile() like this, then building everything on top of it, was because I discovered such a leak in some actual code, so decided to make such a thing as this to be able to avoid it in future. 0.03 now declares dependency on at least perl 5.8: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/PEVANS/CPS-0.03/Changes If anyone actually wants 5.6 support, they'll hopefully notice that in the changelog, and if they actually need it perhaps we can find a workaround. -- Paul Evans
