Friday April 17

Philippe Bruhat (‎BooK‎)

released Data-ShortNameProvider v1.000 to CPAN

Olivier Mengué (‎dolmen‎)

Released Devel-JSON v0.901
CPAN Governance discussion
Built a MSVC/Win64/nmake blead perl with OpenSSL and CPAN::Reporter on Windows 8.1 with bulk 88's help
- The last time I installed MSVC was about 10 years ago and I had only heard horror stories about perl on MSVC
- The build has a few failures already known by bulk 88. He suspects a double close on a file handle that cause close() to report an error, and that is now reported as a warning by perl. This completely breaks the Capture::Tiny test suite.
- We installed OpenSSL as a binary from https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html The idea of installing a blob (instead of building from source) for a such a security package raises my hairs.
- When installing Task::CPAN::Reporter, the IO::Socket::SSL testsuite failed because IP::Socket::IP is not loaded because Socket lacks inet_pton. But it was working enough to make CPAN::Reporter work
