From: Paul Fenwick Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2009 01:30:28 +0000 (+1000) Subject: Better flock detection for autodie tests X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5472f9ed718663ee4484a52b9bdc63b8f228bccd;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git Better flock detection for autodie tests G'day p5p, Craig A. Berry discovered that autodie's tests which attempt to detect flock() support can cause bogus test failures on older VMS systems: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=47812 Attached is a trivial patch from Craig that fixes this issue. It's already been applied to my upstream repository. Dave - I have no idea if this would be an issue for people building Perl 5.10.1 on old VMS systems. You may wish to consider it for inclusion into maint-5.10 just in case.
