This is a bug report for perl from rabbit@rabbit.us,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.14.2.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]
Over 6 months ago https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=88531 and
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=88494 were filed against
Carp 1.32.
The current maintainer rejected multiple offers for help with release,
citing he needs to find time to (allegedly) deal with the still unresolved
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=72467
A day ago Carp 1.33 was released, which fixes only RT#88531, without doing
anything about RT#88494. The maintainer dismissed a plea to fix this on
irc #p5p with "it's annoying, but blead is in freeze".
I am requesting an exception to the freeze policy so this can be addressed
in reasonable time (ignoring past maintenance lapses). Note that the patch
below affects a single line of code in a *test* file. There are zero
changes to the actual module, thus the likelyhood of violating the idea of
the freeze is exceedingly low.
Attached is a patch with the fix. The patch is incomplete, in particular
missing:
* A changelog entry (because the current Changelog is versioned by the
maintainer in a *private* repository)
* A Module::Corelist update because it is unclear how/if a new Carp 1.34 can
be shipped to CPAN given current maintainer's reluctance to address this
over such a massive amount of time.
