I got these LWPng problems resolved.
The problem of "use base" causing a "Can't locate ... in @INC" was fixed
by commenting out the "use base" lines. Line 613 can be improved by
deleting the "::Active", but that gives "redefined subroutine" warnings.
CGI::Carp shows up problems in eval blocks and various bugs that -w and
'use strict' can't find, and CGI::Carp' messages can be suppressed using
this code:
my $OldSigDie = $SIG{__DIE__}; # Disable errors from CGI::Carp
$SIG{__DIE__} = sub { if (
0>index($_[0],'vendor has not defined POSIX macro EINPROGRESS')
&& 0>index($_[0],'vendor has not defined Fcntl macro')
) { &$OldSigDie }; } if ( ! defined($^S));
... CODE ...
$SIG{__DIE__} = $OldSigDie;
(It looked like Activestate have documented Fcntl constants in their
Perl 5.6.0 build 615, but the constants are absent.
