in thread CGI::Tiny versus undefined parameter/form field

It won't work on my Mac, which is where I develop. So "Simple" didn't live up to its name for me.

I find that hard to believe, given the green Darwin column in cpantesters report, unless the test suite is not sufficient. But since I don't have a Mac (and haven't used one since they looked like this), I won't be any help in that regard.

    Well, I have an older Mac, and too much on it to dare trying to upgrade. My Perl version is 5.12--and from the chart you linked, CGI::Simple is compatible with 5.16 at the earliest. I guess that's the deal right there.

    Blessings,

      This isn't the case. What you're seeing is that the volunteers who have their cpan client setup to submit results to cpantesters don't have coverage of versions below 5.16 on that platform.

        Here's what I know:

        I'm running Mac OS 10.8.3, with Perl 5.12.4, and I have tried to install CGI::Simple on it. I put considerable time into the effort, and still failed to have it recognized in my scripts. The module works fine on the Linux webserver where my scripts go when ready, but because I cannot use it during development, it has gotten one use, and one only, and that is to assist with the production and download to a client of a zip file from the server. For that feature alone, which gets minimal use, I must enable the "use CGI::Simple" line which is otherwise commented at all times during development.

        So, from my corner, I could not vouch for CGI::Simple being compatible with Mac OSX 10.8 with Perl 5.12. It may be that someone else, more persistent than myself, has managed to find a way to get it working.

        Blessings,
