mod_perl fails with 5.91_01?
Hey,
Can anyone else verify that mod_perl fails with MakeMaker 5.91_01 ? I
used to be able to compile test with just this:
perl Makefile.PL EVERYTHING=1
make test
Now I'm seeing 'taint' errors up the wazoo:

[junior:~/Downloads/perl/mod_perl-1.26] ken% make test
cp t/conf/mod_perl_srm.conf t/conf/srm.conf
/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.23/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -X -d
`pwd`/t
httpd listening on port 8529
will write error_log to: t/logs/error_log
letting apache warm up...\c

I don't know for sure that this is related to MakeMaker, because I've
also done things like OS upgrades since last time I tried this. I
haven't gone so far as to reinstall an old version of MakeMaker yet.

ExtUtils::testlib calls File::Spec-rel2abs() which is not taint clean in
5.6.1. It is in bleadperl. Dunno what to do about that.

The patch at the bottom should be applied to 5.6.2 (Should this be sent
to Sarathy?).
The workaround is to overload (re-alias) Cwd::_backtick_pwd with a fixed
version where you need it in MM, by forcing 'require Cwd' if it wasn't
loaded yet before doing the re-alias. Remember to shutdown warnings, or
even better undef the *Cwd::_backtick_pwd{CODE} symbol if Cwd is in %INC
already.

Module::Build design plans
[I just sent this message to the 'Fink' list, I thought it might be of some interest to the people here, too.] Hi, I'm the author of the relatively experimental Module::Build module. It, or something like it, will eventually become the replacement for ExtUtils::MakeMaker (EU::MM). EU:MM needs to be replaced for several reasons, some of which I mention in the Module::Build documentation on CPAN. Michael Schwern, current maintainer of EU::MM, agrees. I want to ask the Fink community what kinds of considerations I should be putting into the design. So far I've been focusing on its flexibility and extendibility in customizing build processes, which I think is already a big improvement over EU::MM. I haven't given much thought to packaging, though, so I'd appreciate any feedback you can give me. Currently in EU::MM, dependencies are handled by a PREREQ field in a function call. This means that it's impossible to programmatically determine dependency hierarchies in advance, which makes automatic installation very tricky (tools like CPAN.pm basically just try to forge ahead, and allow you to auto-install dependencies that fail at runtime). It also doesn't allow for build dependencies, or optional dependencies, etc. I'm thinking of creating meta-data files for Perl modules, similar to Fink's .info files. The first step in the build process (similar to perl Makefile.PL) would read this file and configure itself appropriately. This file would NOT contain Perl code to be evaluated, since this opens up the possibilities of dynamically-determined dependencies. It would just be a flat configuration file. I haven't decided on a format for the file yet, but options might be Fink's format, YAML [1], XML (shudder), or something else. What other things need to be in the info-files? Module (distribution) name should be there, but version should probably not be (they're specified in the module files themselves). Patches aren't relevant, of course. One of the larger goals with this is to get the standard mechanism for building installing Perl modules closer to a real package management system. Currently if you just use perl Makefile.PL make test make install, you don't keep a record of dependencies, and it's very difficult to properly uninstall things later. Thanks in advance for any advice. -Ken [1] http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=modulequery=YAML
