Testing problem (32 bit numeric constants?)

2010-04-11 Thread craig
My CPAN module takes an IP4 address as its operand, and checks its operand as follows: 1) if the scalar is 4 bytes long, it's taken as a packed 32-bit binary value, 2) otherwise it is syntax checked as a dotted quad, as in '1.2.3.4'. An operand that fails these tests results in a return value

Q about prerequisites

I added LWP::UserAgent to a test, and thought I had it covered by adding LWP to Makefile.PL like this: 'BUILD_REQUIRES' = {'LWP' = 5.834, 'Test::More'= 0}, One of many smoke-test systems has a problem with this.

Jonathan, David, Aristotle: With such smart and helpful people as you, all problems can be solved. Looking at the test report, EU::MM was only 6.42, which is before it could process BUILD_REQUIRES, which makes David correct in his diagnosis. So I'll put CONFIG_REQUIRES = {EU:MM = 6.56} into

Module::Build question

2010-02-16 Thread craig
Recently I submitted IP::World, my first module using M::B. I think that the standard install process does not syntax check Perl scripts in a scripts folder. Is that right? So I would like to add some tests to one of my test files, involving something like `perl -c scripts/my_script`, and fail

Thanks Jonathan, Test::Script would have filled the bill nicely if it didn't have so many dependencies. I have aborted installations for having than many! So I ended up with the following, which works fine in my test program: my $build = Module::Build-current(); my $tail = $build-is_unixish()

Bruce Gray's reply indicates that your routine, that constructs the array that you were comparing to the gold one, was populating the array by using each(%hash). Since the order in which entries are returned is not consistent, you can't use a known correct comparison. It seems he even sent you
