Jos,
A couple of the modules you maintain that are currently in blead
exceed the 8-level depth limit of older VMS systems (including all
VAX systems). The symptom is that you cannot even unpack the tarball
when files in it are more than 8 levels deep. While we may
eventually have to desupport these older systems, this doesn't seem
like a very good reason to do it. Please give some thought to where
you would like the files listed below to go; the most obvious thing
would be to move dummy-CPAN and to_load up under the main t/
directory. That would most likely require test changes, but I
haven't really looked into that yet. Let us know if you have any
thoughts on how that should be handled.
% perl Porting/check83.pl | grep levels
more than eight levels deep:
lib/CPANPLUS/t/dummy-CPAN/authors/id/E/EU/EUNOXS/CHECKSUMS
more than eight levels deep:
lib/CPANPLUS/t/dummy-CPAN/authors/id/E/EU/EUXS/CHECKSUMS
more than eight levels deep:
lib/CPANPLUS/t/dummy-CPAN/authors/id/M/MB/MBNOXS/CHECKSUMS
more than eight levels deep:
lib/CPANPLUS/t/dummy-CPAN/authors/id/M/MB/MBXS/CHECKSUMS
more than eight levels deep:
lib/Module/Load/Conditional/t/to_load/Must/Be/Loaded.pm
