Re^2: perlxs + blackbox testing

ok, i tried to install P5NCI, but all i get is a machine that nearly dies and does not react to any input at all, since the Build-process uses up all RAM and swap. since P5NCI is maintained by chromatic, is it your module? :) do you know what's going wrong here? all i do is untar, then run - as suggested - a "perl ./Build.PL; ./Build".

It takes a while to build up the big shared library of thunks. That's normal. Hopefully someone will enhance it in the near future to use something like `libffi` or a JIT library to make that unnecessary.	[reply] [d/l]

ok, running various tests on various unix-derivates and linux-distribution, it seems, the Build-process simply just takes up all ram and a loooooong time (according to my CPU speed). but i've converted a .rpm to a format that suits my distribution with a conversion-tool, and installed this package. my first tests with P5NCI have shown, that this is exactly what i need. this is great, thx chromatic!
