| Subject: | Patches for Image::Xbm build |
When trying to install Image::Info we had problems with it failing the Image::Xpm and Image::Xbm tests. The maintainer tightened up some of the constructor code to test for the existence of the source file, but forgot that the source might actually be a reference to a file handle and this fails the test saying the file is not readable.
These two patches should go back to the maintainer of the Image::X[pb]m perl modules that would be good.
