[Cgi-session-user] Failing DB_File tests

[David S. <ca...@po...>]

Hello,

I am currently using CGI::Session on Mac OS X 10.4 and OpenBSD 3.8.  On both
platforms the test involving the DB_File fail while all other test pass.

Here is the test output I get on Mac OS X 10.4 for the failing tests:

t/api3_db_file..................NOK 10#     Failed test (t/api3_db_file.t at
line 46)

    (F) You used the syntax of a method call, but the slot filled by the
    object reference or package name contains an undefined value.  Something
    like this will reproduce the error:
    
        $BADREF = undef;
        process $BADREF 1,2,3;
        $BADREF->process(1,2,3);
    
Uncaught exception from user code:
        Can't call method "id" on an undefined value at
t/api3_obj_store_db_file.t line 55.
 at t/api3_obj_store_db_file.t line 55
t/api3_obj_store_db_file........dubious

DIED. FAILED tests 5-8
        Failed 4/8 tests, 50.00% okay

I would like to be able to install CGI::Session via the CPAN shell without
using force and hence would like to get to the bottom of these test
failures.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be occurring or suggestions on
things to look into?

Thanks,
