Well, for starters, you should never do this  `cpan -i mem` in code you release on cpan, especially in a test

    Right. And you realize that the code that you cite should never be called under normal circumstances. So "cpan -i mem" is only present to compensate for extraordinary failure conditions. The test code even tries to die in lack of pre-reqs, and dying doesn't work.

    I tend to be a bit dense at times, but how does your advice about what I "should (or 'should never') do", help solve the problem so that such code would never have needed to have been written in the first place?

      The circumstances don't matter, the code should not have been pushed to cpan

      It only points out another problem , it doesn't try to solve anything
