Bug #67472 for Catalyst-View-SVG-TT-Graph: Support for perl <5.10: FindBin version too high?

Thu Apr 14 18:12:49 2011 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

FindBin prereq version necessary?

In Makefile.PL I see the line 'FindBin' => '1.50', However, a quick scan over the distribution does not reveal any uses of FindBin. Also, forcing this version of FindBin effectively makes it not possible to use the distribution with perl < 5.10.1. Regards, Slaven

Thanks for your feedback. FindBin is used in the testapp[1] at and the live test case[2]. The application can't be tested unless it is installed. Show quoted text

Which version of perl/FindBin are you using? Regards, Terence. [1] http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/TERENCEMO/Catalyst-View-SVG-TT-Graph- 0.0221/t/lib/script/testapp_test.pl [2] http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/TERENCEMO/Catalyst-View-SVG-TT-Graph- 0.0221/t/live-test.t

As your FindBin usage does not do something fancy (i.e. using the "again" method, which was introduced later), I suggest to lower the prereq version even to 0. Regards, Slaven

Slaven, Thanks for your feedback. FindBin minimum version has been set to 1.42, so perl >= 5.6.0 [1] support is enabled, though I can't guarantee this because I can't reproduce that environment at my location and Catalyst framework itself has not afaik been sufficiently tested with perl 5.6. Help with testing with perl 5.6/5.7/5.8 will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Terence. [1] http://search.cpan.org/~gsar/perl-5.6.0/
