| Subject: | Possible problem with locked temporary files on BSD systems |
The t/FlatFile-DataStore.t test hangs on my FreeBSD system. As there are
no other success reports from any *BSD system, and because the hanging
process is in the "lockf" state, I assume that the test suite has
problems with the implicite locking of File::Temp on systems which
support this (notably BSD systems). To fix this problem the File::Temp
manpage suggests to use
($fh, $filename) = tempfile($template, EXLOCK => 0);
