Ron,

Reading this msg, none of us has a clue as to the code you've used :-).

Well, I'm not actually asking for help solving the actual _problem_ ... I have a pretty good idea what the problem is, and even how to fix it. The problem is, I can't actually _reproduce_ the problem on my machine. So what I'd like help with is, what does the "config_args" line in the report actually _mean_, and how do I build a version of Perl (again, preferably using Perlbrew) which can replicate a given config_args line?

I suggest you upload your tarball to your website and perhaps someone
will download it and analyze it for you.

Well, no need for that; the code's right there on CPAN.[1] :-) If anyone's interested in the code, that's cool, but like I said: I'm not really asking anyone to debug my code for me. ;-> Just help with understanding what config_args means.

Perhaps some examples might be helpful:

* A report with an empty config_args which passes[2]
* A report with an empty config_args which fails[3], not the current problem[4] * A report with a non-empty config_args which fails[5], *this* is the problem in question * A report with a non-empty config_args which fails[6], not the current problem[7]

I'm still working on identifying _which_ things in the config_args make it pass vs fail (or whether the split amongst reports with a non-empty config_args actually relates to an orthogonal categorization), but none of that is going to help me if I can't figure out how to build a Perl that will reproduce the problem locally.

Thanx guys.

[4] This is a whole different problem, which I already know what it is and how to fix it.

[7] This a whole different problem from both the other two problems; I actually don't have a clue yet on this one, but I'm not that worried about it (yet).
