DBD::CSV won't install on Mac OS X

punkish has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying to install DBD::CSV, but test 50 "chopblanks" fails with the following message

#   Failed test 'fetch'
#   at t/50_chopblanks.t line 41.

#   Failed test 'content'
#   at t/50_chopblanks.t line 42.
#     Structures begin differing at:
#          $got = undef
#     $expected = ARRAY(0x7fa4c1bc4b68)

#   Failed test 'fetch'
#   at t/50_chopblanks.t line 41.

#   Failed test 'content'
#   at t/50_chopblanks.t line 42.
#     Structures begin differing at:
#          $got = undef
#     $expected = ARRAY(0x7fa4c1bbf200)
# Looks like you failed 4 tests of 65.
t/50_chopblanks.t ... 
Dubious, test returned 4 (wstat 1024, 0x400)
Failed 4/65 subtests

suggestions?

Just a head-up so people don't think we don't care … I just found a way to reproduce it on one of my Linux boxes. The fail stems from upgrading SQL::Statement from version 1.33 to 1.401 in this combo: `# Using DBI version 1.616 # Using DBD::File version 0.40 # Using SQL::Statement version 1.401 # Using Text::CSV_XS version 0.94 # DBD::CSV 0.36 using Text::CSV_XS (0.94) # DBD::File 0.40 using IO::File (1.14) # DBI::DBD::SqlEngine 0.03 using SQL::Statement 1.401 # DBI 1.616 # OS linux (2.6.31.14-0.4-desktop) # Perl 5.012002 (x86_64-linux-ld)` [download] I started with 5.12.2, as that was one of the reports that CPANTESTERS was kindly showing me and I had available. I am now talking to the author of SQL::Statement to find the cause and a solution :) Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l]

Was this resolved for the Mac OS? I tried to install and get several test failures. I presume this is due to the flock() function being disabled. Is there a way around this or can I provide additional information?	[reply]

It was resolved for all OS's, but not yet released. There are a few reasons why it is delayed, but we are getting closer. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]

You can install modules with failing tests	[reply]

Both DBI (1.628) and DBD::CSV (0.40) got released yesterday, and both were tested on Linux, HP-UX, MacOSX, AIX, and Windows with a variety of perl versions. I hope it was worth the delay. Enjoy! Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]
