Re: (tye)Re: File::Find bummers on an NFS volume.

Don't just patch the POD. Patch the module!

I probably agree that the default should be changed, but what I'm hearing is that it's been suggested and rejected. Given that nobody's going to change it, then I think that we should at least patch the POD so that future users of the module don't go through the same thing I did.

The two options are not mutually exclusive. We can do BOTH.

So my question still stands: What do I need to do to get the POD patched?

You submit patches with "perlbug". To be extra nice to the "porters", grab "bleedperl", make your update to that, then use "diff -C3" or "diff -U3" to create a patch and use the "perlbug" command to send it in. I'd love to see the POD update: "$dont_use_nlink should be set to default to 1 for all modern systems if you actually want File::Find to _work_ on all of your file systems (such as CD-ROM file systems). We'd just fix this bug but politics prevent it." (: - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]
