This code is wrong:
if (*{$DynaLoader::{boot_DynaLoader}}{CODE}) {
If $DynaLoader::{boot_DynaLoader} is undef because MakeMaker::Test::NoXS
deleted it, then it croaks. It should be something like:
if ($DynaLoader::{boot_DynaLoader} && *{$DynaLoader::{boot_DynaLoader}}{CODE}) {
I suspect Cwd is being loaded earlier than before. There is another ref-
erence to this typeglob earlier on in Cwd.pm that would vivify it when
Cwd is loaded, causing that test not to fail.
I don't think this is a very robust approach at all. We are switching
to miniperl mode after loading several things. And this also causes a
run-time penalty for cwd on Windows. miniperl.t ought to be deleting
$DynaLoader::{boot_DynaLoader} at the very top in a BEGIN block. Or this
test should actually be run with miniperl. (Though if it is not being
run with miniperl, why can't it be run in the CPAN release?)
