Mechanize's tests always hang 5.6.2. Here's my distroprefs rule to skip it. You'll need to change the path to perl, obviously. $ cat .cpandistprefs/WWW-Mechanize-5.6.2.yml --- comment: "disable WWW-Mechanize on 5.6.2" match: distribution: "^PETDANCE/WWW-Mechanize-1.50" perl: "/home/david/cpantesting/perl-5.6.2/bin/perl" disabled: 1 > ... killall perl ... > > So looks like I missed one of the running perl processes even if I do > not understand why. Because the process might not be called perl - it might have started and then changed its argv[0]. This is another reason why killall is a Bad Idea. -- David Cantrell | London Perl Mongers Deputy Chief Heretic There's no problem so complex that it can't be solved by killing everyone even remotely associated with it
