Subject: Undeclared dependency on threads on threaded perls
While watching cpantesters results I found the reason for the current seven FAILs in 0.71_02. The following table makes it obvious: http://pause.perl.org:3000/reports_by_field?SUBMIT_xxx=Submit&distv=Imager-0.71_02&field=qr%3A%28Can%27t+locate+\S%2Bpm%29&field=meta%3Aperl&field=conf%3Ausethreads&field=qr%3A%28Can%27t+locate+\S%2Bpm%29 So the threaded perls 5.6.2 produce these fails because they have no threads.pm. Unthreaded perls 5.6.2 send a PASS. I don't know if threads.pm is available for 5.6.2 but I expect that IFF you declare the dependency on threads for threaded perls then the reporting tools will stop sending these FAIL reports and Imager will shine as an all-tests-pass distro. HTH:)

Fixed in 0.71_03, 5.6.2 doesn't support threads.pm, but Imager does support 5.6.2, so a dependency on threads.pm would lose me useful testing results. Also, the mechanism I use to avoid crashing when threads are used was added in late 5.8 - 5.8.7 or 5.8.8, so I've further restricted it to perform the tests only on those later perls. Thanks for your report. Tony
