I've added some really basic tests for XSLoader as well as cleaning up a few nits in the code. User visable changes: load() will now die with a usage message if it gets no args rather than just puking its guts out. Doc changes: The SYNOPSIS documented the second argumen to load() as "@args". It seems more useful to call it some variation on $VERSION. Code changes: There were a bunch of comments and code copied from DynaLoader which seemed to be cargo-cult. Particularly, the Tolkien quote which I've removed. A better quote would be something about making a quick meal. :) Tests: . XSLoader loads. . XSLoader::load() exists . load() dies gracefully with no args . SDBM_File can be loaded (I picked SDBM_File because I think its always built) That last test of SDBM_File isn't entirely correct. Because there's no .so in the directory with the test, XSLoader can't find it so it will always fall back to DynaLoader. So its only testing a small portion of XSLoader. Still, its better than nothing. The test might need some sort of "am I using dynamic loading" check. -- Michael G Schwern schwern@pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ You'll do.Thread Next
