Re^2: PAUSE problem

Since I didn't know that the problem was not with PAUSE until the node mentioning the patch, I'm not sure that the title wasn't accurate at that point in time. Vague perhaps, but still accurate. A quibble and your point is taken. More importantly I had not known about the modules you mention and find that very useful--- thanks! Don't understand the last line though; what did you have in mind?

Don't understand the last line though; what did you have in mind? Nothing important, just hoops. Instead of `my $mod = __PACKAGE__; $mod =~ s{::}{/}g; $mod .= '.pm'; $mod = $INC{$mod}; $mod =~ s/EPD\.pm//i; my $module_dir_qfn = realpath($mod); my $db_dir_qfn = catdir($module_dir_qfn, 'db');` [download] You might have used `realpath( catfile( __FILE__, updir(), 'db' ) );` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It took a bit of head bashing, but this: `my $db_dir_qfn = realpath( catfile( __PACKAGE__, updir(), 'db' ) );` [download] seems to do the trick nicely. Love getting rid of lines of code for one--- particularly when the lines gone look more like the much maligned perl line noise! Thanks for the suggestion. --hsm "Never try to teach a pig to sing...it wastes your time and it annoys the pig."	[reply] [d/l]

A quibble and your point is taken. I probably should have phrased that better, thanks :) With the information contained in your question, and the guidance of How do I compose an effective node title?, effective titles might be: FAIL Chess-PGN-EPD-0.25 v5.12.3 MirOS BSD tester fail cpansmoke/perl-5.12.3/cpan/build/Chess-PGN-EPD-0.25 Chess-PGN-EPD-0.25/t/01_epdcode.t Non-zero exit status Chess-PGN-EPD-0.25/t/01_epdcode.t Parse errors: Bad plan Chess-PGN-EPD-0.25 Failed 7/8 test programs problem testing Chess-PGN-EPD-0.25 Chess-PGN-EPD-0.25 subtest not run on MirOS BSD "PAUSE problem" makes me think there is a bug PAUSE	[reply]
