I glanced at this ticket tonight and soon saw one problem in tackling it.
When I run t/porting/diag.t, I get this output in the section for file gv.c:
##########
not ok 127 - Can't locate object method "%s" via package "%s" (perhaps
you forgot to load "%s"?) # TODO in DATA
# Failed test 127 - Can't locate object method "%s" via package "%s"
(perhaps you forgot to load "%s"?) at porting/diag.t line 392
# Message 'Can't locate object method "%s" via package "%s" (perhaps
you forgot to load "%s"?)'
# from gv.c line 1042 is not listed in pod/perldiag.pod
# (but it wasn't documented in 5.10 either, so marking it TODO).
##########
In point of fact, this warning *is* covered in pod/perldiag.pod -- but
in two distinct entries:
##########
980 =item Can't locate object method "%s" via package "%s"
981
982 (F) You called a method correctly, and it correctly indicated a
package
983 functioning as a class, but that package doesn't define that
particular
984 method, nor does any of its base classes. See L<perlobj>.
985
...
3865 =item (perhaps you forgot to load "%s"?)
3866
3867 (F) This is an educated guess made in conjunction with the message
3868 "Can't locate object method \"%s\" via package \"%s\"". It
often means
3869 that a method requires a package that has not been loaded.
3870
##########
This suggests that a certain portion of the diagnostics marked as TODO
in t/porting/diag.t have, in fact, been done. How should we proceed?
Thank you very much.
