ppisar,
You are probably right but this will not be fixed directly. I'll
explain.
First, 'recommends' isn't quite right anyway. The modules in question
should be 'build_recommends'; they are only required to run some tests.
But unfortunately Module::Build doesn't support this (yet).
Second, IO::Capture::*fix was a terrible, nasty, temporary kludge I
threw in, without much forethought, hoping the primary author would pick
up on the issues I raised; fix and release. I don't think this has, or
will, happen; and I shouldn't impose this particular nasty kludge for
any length of time. I should have disposed of this long ago.
Third, I'm now opposed to IO::Capture* entirely. Test::Trap is my
current preference for pressure-cooker testing and will be used in the
1.2.0 release of Devel::Comments. Since this works as is, I won't be
distributing it sneakily in D::C. I will probably still list Test::Trap
as a 'recommends' even though it will only be used in testing, since I
feel that to 'build_requires' a new dep would demand I bump major
version.
Thank you for your interest,
XIONG
