Re: Perl 28 broke L: How to fix?

It's interesting that it doesn't exhibit failing tests on newer versions of Perl. I can confirm that it doesn't behave correctly on 5.30, if correct is to work both for OO modules AND for function modules. Here's the tester's matrix, showing that it is still passing: http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=L+v1.0.1. So clearly the tests are inadequate. You might submit a patch that includes a test. If you feel up to fixing the problem itself, include that in the patch too. Otherwise, just the test so that the author can incorporate it, and have something to work with in fixing it. The module was most recently uploaded in December 2018, so it's possible the author is still open to maintaining it.

Fortunately it's really just saving a few keystrokes; one-liners will survive without it. Also worth noting, perhaps: Object/Class-method calls do work. It's functions (non-methods) that trip up the error.

I find it very valuable and wish to retain the ability to use modules on the command line without having to refer to them twice and tinker with -M! As for the second point, you would think so, but check this out:

perl -ML -e 'print Data::Dumper->Dump([HTTP::Tiny->new->get(q(https://
+www.perlmonks.org))->{headers}])'
[download]

5.26

$VAR1 = {
          'server' => 'Apache/2.4.41',
          'etag' => '"f059-595f109c01e50"',
          'date' => 'Mon, 28 Oct 2019 04:38:47 GMT',
          'last-modified' => 'Mon, 28 Oct 2019 04:36:06 GMT',
          'content-length' => '61529',
          'accept-ranges' => 'bytes',
          'content-type' => 'text/html'
        };

5.28

$VAR1 = {
          'content-type' => 'text/plain',
          'content-length' => 110
        };

Don’t know what went wrong for you, but it’s working fine for me:

17:17 >perl -ML -e "print Data::Dumper->Dump([HTTP::Tiny->new->get(q(h
+ttps://www.perlmonks.org))->{headers}]);"
$VAR1 = {
          'content-type' => 'text/html',
          'server' => 'Apache/2.4.41',
          'etag' => '"e57e-595f34244bafb"',
          'content-length' => '58750',
          'last-modified' => 'Mon, 28 Oct 2019 07:15:04 GMT',
          'accept-ranges' => 'bytes',
          'date' => 'Mon, 28 Oct 2019 07:18:01 GMT'
        };

17:18 >mversion -f L Data::Dumper HTTP::Tiny
L v1.0.1
Data::Dumper 2.173
HTTP::Tiny 0.070

17:18 >perl -v
