( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

It seems to me that I have gotten the checksum error from a local file corruption. My response was to go to CPAN's working directory (probably ~/.cpan) and delete file Metadata and directories build/ and sources/. After I did so the problem went away.

As for Astro::SIMBAD::Client, I am not sure of the situation about SOAP, and I am the author of that module. I know they announced the deprecation of SOAP support, but the deadline passed and it was still there. I communicated with them and they confirmed it was going away, but to the best of my knowledge it still works. Trusting my memory (a foolish thing to do) I marked all the SOAP tests TODO, added that warning, and migrated all my code that uses that interface away from SOAP.

As for XML::DoubleEncodedEntities, it may no longer be needed, though I am reluctant to drop the dependency completely for reasons that are not all technical.

Dave Cantrell is a star CPAN tester (to me anyway; of course they all are but he's one of the brighter ones). At one point he noticed test failures in Astro::SIMBAD::Client due to the fact that U. Strasbourg was, in fact, double-encoding their XML entities. His response was to publish XML::DoubleEncodedEntities and write me about it.

I can look into making XML::DoubleEncodedEntities optional, though author testing both with and without optional modules is a bit of a pain. Even if I do that it will remain strongly recommended.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
