Subject: tests hang on Windows
Tests of your module hang on Windows. Hanging tests make cpantesters smokers work incorrectly. I can provide more verbose information if necessary. If your module cannot work on Windows, you can die in Makefile.PL/Build.PL. See http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes for how to do this. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

Please. Most specifically, what kind of perl on Windows? Cygwin, ActiveState, or Vanilla/Strawberry perl? Or more than one of these? It's easier if I know what I'm supposed to reproduce with :-) I obviously don't generally run Windows, so I'll have to find somewhere to work with and set it up, so if you let me know a bit more about the environment, I can take a look a bit faster. Thanks!

Thanks - I can reproduce it now, we'll see what can be done reasonably :-)

:-) First "reasonable" approach: declare that we don't work on Windows (but it does work on cygwin, so that's still allowed). Getting it to actually work on Windows will take a fair bit more work, and given this is the first report on Windows at all (and from a not-actual-user to boot), I'm not inclined to spend a bunch of time on it simply due to lack of interest from anyone (including myself). That said, I appreciate what the testers are doing, so I still don't want to cause the testers' systems to hang, so I'm more than happy to replace this with a version that aborts in a friendly manner (I hope I got it right!) instead of hanging, so thanks for the report.
