Bug #59979 for PathTools: Broken on Haiku

Subject:

Broken on Haiku

Whenever I try to install anything into the CPAN shell on Haiku I get errors from FIle::Spec::Unix. I don't know what it is, but since the error comes from File::Spec::Unix, I wondered if at least you can help. For example: cpan[1]> install Time::HiRes Running install for module 'Time::HiRes' Running make for J/JH/JHI/Time-HiRes-1.9721.tar.gz Checksum for /boot/home/.cpan/sources/authors/id/J/JH/JHI/Time-HiRes-1.9721.tar.gz ok Time-HiRes-1.9721/ Time-HiRes-1.9721/Changes Time-HiRes-1.9721/fallback/ Time-HiRes-1.9721/hints/ Time-HiRes-1.9721/HiRes.pm Time-HiRes-1.9721/HiRes.xs Time-HiRes-1.9721/Makefile.PL Time-HiRes-1.9721/MANIFEST Time-HiRes-1.9721/META.yml Time-HiRes-1.9721/ppport.h Time-HiRes-1.9721/README Time-HiRes-1.9721/t/ Time-HiRes-1.9721/TODO Time-HiRes-1.9721/typemap Time-HiRes-1.9721/t/HiRes.t Time-HiRes-1.9721/hints/aix.pl Time-HiRes-1.9721/hints/dec_osf.pl Time-HiRes-1.9721/hints/dynixptx.pl Time-HiRes-1.9721/hints/irix.pl Time-HiRes-1.9721/hints/linux.pl Time-HiRes-1.9721/hints/sco.pl Time-HiRes-1.9721/hints/solaris.pl Time-HiRes-1.9721/hints/svr4.pl Time-HiRes-1.9721/fallback/const-c.inc Time-HiRes-1.9721/fallback/const-xs.inc Use of uninitialized value $_[0] in join or string at /boot/common/lib/perl5/5.10.1/BePC-haiku/File/Spec/Unix.pm line 86.

Strictly speaking, you are getting "uninitialized value" warnings -- not errors. However, where there is smoke there is often fire. 1. Do you get these warnings with more recent versions of Perl on Haiku? 2. cc-ing hugmeir, who knows something about Haiku. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

I've tried to build a more up to date version, but without success, so I'm stuck with the version I have. -Nigel
