ActiveState Perl 5.14.2 on Windows 7 $Id: MSWin32.pm 1096 2012-12-28 13:35:15Z willem $ I came across an obscure bug when compiling a program that used Net::DNS with ActiveState PerlApp. I resolved the problem by quoting the 'use base' argument on line 2 of Net::DNS::Resolver::MSWin32. use base "Net::DNS::Resolver::Base"; -Bruce -- Bruce Tanner (562) 653-7861 Bruce.Tanner@Cerritos.edu Cerritos College Norwalk, CA

Please can you provide error messages or other evidence and situation in which this arises. Were there any errors or warnings reported by the Net::DNS installation test suite? It would also be a good idea to reduce your program to the smallest example which still exhibits the problem. -- On Wed Jun 05 18:37:43 2013, tanner@Cerritos.edu wrote: Show quoted text

Thanks for the evidence. The error-free installation tests tell me that the use base construct without the quotes is not upsetting your compiler. The noise about files not listed in MANIFEST is a portability problem with the test and can safely be ignored. Now we need to chop lines out of your program until it is reduced to the few lines which demonstrate the problem. Hopefully, we should then be able to understand what is going on. I am very curious to know why adding quotes apparently makes the problem go away. Dick -- On Fri Jun 07 12:02:30 2013, tanner@Cerritos.edu wrote: Show quoted text
