i am writing some testing code and i want to unloop (exit) the main loop
when a certain thing happens so i can exit the test. but when i call
unloop_all i got this error:

 perl -MStem -e 'Stem::Event::Plain::Test::go()'
Stem::Event::Plain::Test testing
success
end test
Can't locate Event/cancel.pm in @INC (@INC contains: 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 
.) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris/Event.pm line 50.
, Undefined subroutine &cancel at -e line 0
END failed--cleanup aborted.


i can't find any cancel.pm nor do i know why is trying to get loaded. so
i tried a change and decided to cancel my idle event from inside its
callback before calling unloop_all and this came up:

 perl -MStem -e 'Stem::Event::Plain::Test::go()'
Stem::Event::Plain::Test testing
success
Event: '?? Stem.pm:70' died and then $Event::DIED died with: Can't locate 
Event/desc.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris

/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris/Event.pm line 50.
, Undefined subroutine &desc at Stem.pm line 24

end test

my test code is behaving worse than my production code. :) actually this
is the first time i have called unloop so that may be the area that is
weak. or i could be using it wrong. i tried passing it the result value
1 and also with no args and it core dumps both ways.

i can send you the code for this as it is very simple (just a wrapper
around idle events and simple watcher callback test).

any ideas? is unloop not as robust as it could be?

thanx,
