Re: How to challenge a cpan-testers test result?

/noise ratio is roughly zero. This should largely become a non-issue now. 5.10 is the current stable perl, and comes with Module::Build. It's only the older testers on 5.8.8 or below that matter with this now. -- Paul LeoNerd Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460

Re: How to challenge a cpan-testers test result?

for their own use. die OS unsupported unless $^O eq freebsd; in Build.PL should fix that. It'll turn your FAILs into NAs when run on non-FreeBSD boxen. I have two dists (IO-Ppoll and Solaris-SysInfo) which need that trick. -- Paul LeoNerd Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered

XS wrapper around system - how to test the wrapper but not the system?

of assumptions the tests make that don't hold there any more. E.g. one problem I had was BSD4.4-based systems, whose struct sockaddr_in includes the sin_len field. http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/Socket-GetAddrInfo.html Does anyone have any strategy suggestions for this? -- Paul LeoNerd Evans

Re: Naming convention for thin wrappers around C libfoo.so ?

is purely a convention of the environment; namely, dynamically linked ELF libraries. Similarly here, the fact it lives in the Lib:: namespace is a convention of the perl environment. -- Paul LeoNerd Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk

Re: Naming convention for thin wrappers around C libfoo.so ?

::libmemcached, on the grounds of the 'lib' not really being part of the name. Yes; CamelCased names do seem the convention around here, except the pragmata, so I guess that's the way forward. -- Paul LeoNerd Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http
