FreeBSD hates Capture::Tiny

By dagolden | Published: January 29, 2010
At least, FreeBSD 7.1 does. Could anyone with access to perl on FreeBSD 7.1 please test Capture::Tiny? It now passes test on most platforms, but FreeBSD 7.1 still sometimes fails. I suspect the FAIL reports I'm seeing are something specific to either CPANPLUS or BinGOs' smokers, but I need more data points (PASS or FAIL) [...]

Volunteer needed for help with Capture::Tiny

I've spent a good deal of time brainstorming ideas for migrating to CPAN Testers 2.0 (CT2.0) and then paring down what I came up with to the barest minimum I think is necessary to migrate CPAN Testers off email/NNTP and still build a foundation for the future. This has been frustrating to spend a lot [...]
