How would incorrect line ending characters cause this error?

It wouldn't because perl doesn't care about crlf or lf line endings

ikegami is assuming a cause because of "xception" which suggests an "\r" got into the output stream .... its just causing your shell to hide more of the message

    I don't think it's the output stream from the test harness. The message seems complete: 

    Bareword "xception" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at C:/straw
+berry5143/perl/vendor/lib/Test/Exception.pm line 4.
Compilation failed in require at t/40_fetch_memberships.t line 14.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/40_fetch_memberships.t line 14.

    So if an "\r" or something like that got into the input stream, and caused line 4 of Test::Exception to be split as it was being read, why wouldn't the first half of the line cause an error? 

    package Test::E

    (with no semicolon at the end of the "line")?

    The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

      I don't think...

      :) You don't have to, when ikegami has something worth saying, its not cryptic or confusing, you don't really have to decipher it

        If it weren't cryptic and confusing I wouldn't have asked ikegami to clarify his response.

        As for your comment, well, I just hope your code makes more sense.
