Re: [Module::Build] Yikes! Module::Build 0.2804 produces META.yml with version objects

technically, it really ought to check that the ref equals > "Module::Build::Version"). No, that would be wrong too. Never test a ref() against a specific object class, since it paints you into a corner with inheritance. You really have to do isa() if you want to test that way... John

Re: Untested libraries update

n look at what I did in t/op/ver.t as well, vis: $tests = [whatever] ? 47 : 44; require Test::More; Test::More->import( tests => $tests ); which works as well. I think the SKIP method is better, though. John -- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technol
