Subject:

Doesn't seem to work with 5.6.2

While watching cpan testers results I came across this matrix: http://bbbike.radzeit.de/~slaven/cpantestersmatrix.cgi?dist=Module-Util-1.05 Seems like nobody If you cannot support (or are not interested in supporting), you can get rid of the FAIL reports by declaring the perl dependency with a "use 5.008" or aome other method as described here: http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes Thanks,

This looks like an incompatibility in the test, rather than the module. Could you test the next version (attached) against 5.6.2 for me? I may get some time to download it and test it myself in the next week or so, but I suspect you'll find it closer to hand. Matt On Sun Mar 15 17:29:13 2009, ANDK wrote: Show quoted text

Ah yes, there's an older version of File::Find there that doesn't have warnings support. I suppose I could require a newer version of File::Find, but I don't know how easy that is to install on an old perl, given that it's a core module. I've made a change to check the perl version before trying to suppress warnings. Seems to work on 5.8. I'm not sure whether the test that checks for warnings will now fail on 5.6, though. If so I'll just skip it on that platform. Matt

I admire your willingness to support 5.6.2. Here is the output of Build test: % LANG=C ./Build test t/01..module....1/43 # Failed test 'no warnings generated when searching in missing path' # at t/01..module.t line 87. # Can't stat /home/sand/tmp/Module-Util-1.06/fake/path: No such file or directory # Looks like you failed 1 test of 43. t/01..module....

I suppose it's quite a minority now, but there's now reason why it shouldn't be supported. I worked out that 5.5.3 was the minimum requirement some time ago by some long-forgotten method, so I'm quite keen to stick to that as long as it's possible. Show quoted text

Yup, I do need to skip that test. This one should succeed now. Thanks for your help with this :-) Matt
