Re^2: Can't install IPC:Shareable

This problem was reported two years ago. It looks like this module isn't being maintained.

Some background for those interested:

There was a bug in Perl such that

$#{ @array }
[download]

was interpreted as

$#{ \@array }
[download]

instead of

$#{ scalar(@array) }
[download]

IPC::Shareable's test relies on this bug, but it was fixed in Perl 5.10. Note the lack of 5.10.x and 5.12.x passing results.

I made the same change and manually compiled and installed Shared IPC module and it worked. I guess for perl 5.8 and above we need to make this change. I was using perl 5.12 Thanks	[reply]
