Re: module blacklist for cpan*

It looks like you feel that you've been schmorped, right?

But as he says:

"It seems you are running perl version 5.026000, likely the "official" or "standard" version. While there is nothing wrong with doing that, standard perl versions 5.022 and up are not supported by IO::FDPass. While this might be fatal, it might also be all right - if you run into problems, you might want to downgrade your perl or switch to the stability branch."

IMHO no need to worry. Perhaps this is a reason to use perlbrew?

But remember:

"MCE::Shared enables extra functionality on systems with IO::FDPass installed. Without it, MCE::Shared is unable to send file descriptors to the shared-manager process. The use of IO::FDPass applies to Condvar, Queue and Handle (mce_open). IO::FDpass isn't used for anything else."

I have installed perl 5.26 in my personal space for personal use. I am aware of perlbrew but am not interested in dealing with more than one version. I had not directly used or installed MCE::* myself before trying to run small piece of code posted here. The suggestion to switch to "stability branch" or to downgrade only to keep IO::FDPass from causing problems was rather obnoxious.	[reply]
