Warnings from Devel::Cover/Test::Harness

I'm trying to capture coverage data for a large project I'm working on. I'm running all of my unit tests through Test::Harness and I'm trying to utilize Devel::Cover within the harness. Honestly this is mostly a nitpicky thing because I can get Devel::Cover to work, but I'm seeing warnings and I wa

PGE internal attributes change

2006-03-17 Thread Patrick R. Michaud
Just a quick note that in r11916 I've updated PGE's internal attribute names to match the new secondary sigils identified by S12. Thus, @:capt is now @!capt, &:corou is now &!corou, etc. (For the pugs folks, I updated the Hs.pir file as well.) This shouldn't have much of an impact on anyone usi

PGE: return values in embedded closures

2006-03-17 Thread Patrick R. Michaud
I've just applied a change (r11921) to PGE that allows embedded closures in rules to designate a "return value" for a match (recently added to S05). Essentially this means that a rule such as /:lang(PIR) foo {{ .return "bar" }} / will match a string containing "foo" but gives the returned ma

Proposed kwalitee metric: installer_not_executable

2006-03-17 Thread Adam Kennedy
From my understanding, one of the little idiosyncrasies of Makefile.PL/Build.PL installers (including MI variants of both) is that in order to make sure that the Makefile and Build use the correct perl installation, you should always be explicitly running M/B.PL with the perl you want to instal
