Update on this issue: As you can see, there's only one machine with this error, which is my laptop. http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/DateTime-Locale.html#DateTime-Locale-0.4001 My normal devel machine passed the DateTime::Locale test, which is weird. I also pass the Params::Validate test on my laptop, which is weirder, because this fails for DateTime::Locale on my laptop. Anyway, until I find out the differences between my laptop and my devel machine, the short summary: Params::Validate fails in an BEGIN block, in a type => SCALAR check only on certain machines with 5.10.0 patch 34065 on Cygwin. (Tested only release and patch 34065). Reproducible with DateTime::Locale. Within the debugger everything works ok. (Probably because of the BEGIN block) The other DateTime::Locale reports show no clue. There's a Darwin report on the same patchlevel which passed. Within DateTime-Locale-0.4001 after make even perl -Mblib -cw t/01basic.t fails with the same errors. Moving the register call from BEGIN to INIT also does not help. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
