Dependency on Clone -> non-reporting to CPANtesters #201

Closed jkeenan closed 3 months ago

jkeenan commented 3 months ago

This CPAN library is listed on metacpan as having a dependency on the Clone distribution. That distribution is currently FAILing on CPANtesters due to a change in Perl 5 blead: the elimination of ' from package and variable names. That problem has been corrected in https://github.com/garu/Clone/issues/43 but a new CPAN release has not yet been issued. Until such a new Clone release appears, distributions which depend on Clone will not be reached in dependency-order ("CPAN River") automated testing. Such distributions will be classified DISCARD, e.g.,:

test DISCARD HTTP-Message-6.46 (perl-5.41.3) x86_64-linux 6.1.0-18-amd64

... and we will not be able to assess whether they are adversely affected by other changes in Perl 5 blead.

This will have knock-on effect on other CPAN distributions. The following was just observed during a call to test HTTP-Cookies:

make_test NO 3 dependencies missing (HTTP::Headers::Util,HTTP::Request,HTTP::Response); additionally test harness failed

A new version of Clone has now been uploaded.
