Bug #63402 for Debug-ShowStuff: Requires module Taint, which hasn't passed its test suite in years

Subject:

Requires module Taint, which hasn't passed its test suite in years

This module depends on Taint, but Taint appears to be maintained, and hasn't passed it's test suite in years. Please find some way to remove that dependency.

Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't known about the problems with Taint. I've switched the module over to using Scalar::Util which appears to be more stable. Miko On Sun, Nov 28, 2010 at 9:27 AM, Mike Doherty via RT <bug-Debug-ShowStuff@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

I'm hitting failures on the attempt to install Taint as well. Worse than that - the version of taint required is "0.09" - yet according to CPAN the latest version (by six years later) is "0.07". I'm confused as to why the old version is numerically higher too.

Fixed. I've removed Taint entirely. Thanks! On Mon Nov 29 01:50:32 2010, TJC wrote: Show quoted text
