Subject: Problems with bleadperl
I have two systems, a freebsd and a linux system, where the Devel-Trepan test suite works fine with perl 5.14.2, but fails with bleadperl (perl 5.15.9). The both test reports may be viewed here: http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Devel-Trepan-v0.1.9;reports=1;perl=5.15.9 Sorry, I don't have more information at the moment. Regards, Slaven

This appears to be related to this commit. I haven’t looked far enough to determine whether this module(’s tests) need(s) to change, or whether this change to FindBin was a mistake. commit ce6c0f31778913bcbf7ccd245ab390dddd8a1361 Author: Moritz Lenz <moritz@faui2k3.org> Date: Fri Apr 29 19:44:52 2011 +0200 Remove long-stading limitation from FindBin The FindBin documentation states as a known bug that it will return a wrong result if a script of the same name as the current one exists in $PATH, and is executable. This patch removes the functionality of searching through $PATH. According to Graham Barr it was only necessary because the SysV shell on Sun4OS4 was broken - a system where I can't imagine anybody wanting (and successfully compiling) a modern perl. On Linux this part wasn't necessary in the case of `perl -S scriptname', tests on other platforms are very welcome. As a side effect, this patch also removes some IO operations, speeding up FindBin slightly.
The Devel::Trepan test suite still fails with perl 5.16.0 RC0. Regards, Slaven

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. (I tend to see issues posted on the github project sooner https://github.com/rocky/Perl-Devel-Trepan/issues Release 2.0 should address the defined(@array) problems. Thanks to Reini Urban for making the changes. As for the FindBin problem, is this still an issue? Reini also had a patch for one instance of that, but I'm not sure if there are others. I'll close this. If it is still a problem, revise open a ticket for Devel::Trepan 0.2.0 or better use the github issue page. Thanks for the report and help with making Devel::Trepan better. We possibly have a long way to go to get to the level of venerable perl5db
