Subject: MIME-Types-2.00 breaks Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple
MIME-Types-2.00 breaks Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple : Can't locate object method "create_type_index" via package "MIME::Types" at ~/perl5/lib/perl5/Catalyst/Plugin/Static/Simple.pm line 117. If the above mentioned method was intended to be private, it should have been prefixed with an "_" (underscore). So it shouldn't be removed so abruptly, I suppose... Thanks -Emanuele

Yesterday I made release 2.01 which contains a dummy create_type_index(), but forgot to upload it (for unknown reason) Repared that now. Show quoted text

In contrary to common believe, there are no official naming conventions. I asked Larry personally for such regulation, but he even does not want to prescribe it for Perl6. At least in 2001, when the helper function was created, the leading underscore for private functions was not common practice. A generic rule is that undocumented functions are not to be used. -- Regards, MarkOv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Overmeer MSc MARKOV Solutions Mark@Overmeer.net solutions@overmeer.net http://Mark.Overmeer.net http://solutions.overmeer.net

I'm extremely grateful and highly impressed: this must be the fastest bug fix in the CPAN history! :-) You're right, that method was undocumented so it could be an abuse to rely on it. I'm sorry if my words sounded like a reproach, I really did not intend it, just wanted to suggest to reintroduce that method as the quickest solution. Thanks again! -Emanuele Il Sab 03 Ago 2013 18:40:12, Mark@Overmeer.net ha scritto: Show quoted text
