| Subject: | 000_strict.t and 003_perl_critic.t appear to hang on Win32 |
000_strict.t and 003_perl_critic.t both expect user input to skip tests.
Both test scripts use alarms to time-out this user input. This doesn't
work on Windows, so from the user's perspective the tests appear to hang.
A better approach to skipping tests would be to check for the existence
of an appropriate environment variable; Perl::Critic encourages the use
of TEST_AUTHOR for this.
Currently, the only way to install this distribution on Win32 platforms
is to install it from a PPM package, or to skip the tests (using the
"notest" pragma) if compiling the distribution through the CPAN command
line utility.
My "perl -V" output is attached.
