This is a bug report for perl from svanzoest@cpan.org
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
The following generated test code for MusicBrainz::Queries always
returns a false positive regardless of the actual existance of
the ExtUtils::Constant constants.
 
http://search.cpan.org/src/SVANZOEST/MusicBrainz-Queries-0.03/t/1.t
 
Even when adding MusicBrainz::Queries qw(:all) to actually export
the constants and 'use strict' adding another constname it would
would claim to pass, eventhough the constant doesn't exist.
 
When altering some of the code, I can get the error below, but without
altering the test code, it seems to always return true.
