Thread: [Module::Build] Module::Build hangs during test

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

hang happens during test of 2 different CPAN modules,
on 2 different x86 linux boxes (both running 5.8.2), but not with 5.9.0

It also hangs on 5.6.2, doing a cpan> install Module::Build,
at make test.  What follows is from a couple
of days ago, I shelved til I could pursue it further, but its 4th down,
I need to punt to you all, and play defense.   Ill try some more to make
this report more conclusive.

heres 2 runs, 1st with 5.9.0, which behaves well,
2nd with 5.8.2, which hangs

both perls are using same MB installation, ie both 5.8.1;

[jimc@harpo Array-Compare-1.09]$ perldoc -l Module::Build
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Module/Build.pm
[jimc@harpo Array-Compare-1.09]$ perldoc5.9.0 -l Module::Build
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Module/Build.pm

both perls are 'cpan> r'  up to date.

heres a -d probe (with edits for clarity).
the breakpoint I set seems to be the last place where I
It doesnt show me a lot, but hopefully its more meaningful to some/one 
of you.

The last line indicates some of the problems Im having controlling the 
debugger,
but I have no insight whether this is a cause or effect.

Once I got the prompt back, I was (for 1st time) able to 'n' thru  
run_all_tests(),
but with 'dubious' results.

it 'hangs' here again, I ^C to get out.
