| Subject: | Clobbering %ENV variable 'PWD' (already fixed?) |
Devel::Cover clobbers the contents of the environment variable PWD.
Example using the attached "foo.pl" one-liner
this is using Windows shell:
Show quoted text
> set PWD=abcdefg
> foo.pl
$ENV{PWD}='abcdefg'
Show quoted text>perl -MDevel::Cover foo.pl 2>&1 1>:NUL
$ENV{PWD}=D:/home/yhluc00/bin/OvottCode/DataExtract
Seems to be fixed in 0.72? or is it because I'm using a different shell
here? From bash on a netBSD system:
$ PWD=abcde
$ perl foo.pl
$ENV{PWD}=abcde
$perl -MDevel::Cover foo.pl 2>&1 1>/dev/null
$ENV{PWD}=abcde
Changing the environment variables can make tests fail, when the tester
is meant to set them before running a test. I have a workaround for this
on the Windows system already and will try to install 0.72 instead of
0.65 there. Thanks for your time and effort.
