Let's talk about it. I'm surprised (and a little upset) nobody CC'ed me in on this chat. > CPAN Testers show that recent release have issues on some platforms. > The latest release seems better, but I don't think it's ready for > prime time, yet, until the smokes are green over a longer sample of > tests on a wider variety of platforms. > > http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=IO-Socket-IP%200.16 > > (go back through older releases to see what I'm talking about) Yup. A lot of the latest releases have been me "blind" fixing things for MSWin32, because occasionally someone actually submits a smoke-test result from Windows. It's hard to actually have any confidence with my code on Windows when I don't have a Windows box, nor do I get very many smoke-test reports on CPAN testers from it. That said I believe the current code is all correct and working nicely on Windows now. There's also somewhat of chicken/egg here. I would -love- to hear from people actually using it in more places - maybe more of the core modules currently using ::INET could be swapped to using ::IP instead, and people try them out and see how they work..? But is that going to happen while it is "just a CPAN module", and not in core? -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/Thread Previous | Thread Next
