Fixed in CVS, or it will be. I'm spending the next few days sorting
out scripts for building Perl, POE, and dependent modules on several
machines. SourceForge's compile farm will never be the same, and
POE's quality should go up vastly.
An excerpt:
....
# Test POE several times, each after installing a new module.
# FreezeThaw should come before Storable (installing Storable
# first would mean FreezeThaw never gets a chance).
$self->test_poe_with("Time::HiRes"), # Setup::Global
$self->test_poe_with("Event"), # Setup::Global
$self->test_poe_with("FreezeThaw"), # Setup::Global
$self->test_poe_with("Storable"), # Setup::Global
$self->test_poe_with("IO::Pty"), # Setup::Global
....
Whee!
