Should I have expected better results? My branch addresses the main complaint of the OP, that the error message gave no indication of what the issue is. With my branch, all those modules are now getting a clear and unambiguous error message, which if looked up in perldiag, explains the shift in attribute position for 5.28. So, no, you shouldn't have expected better results. -- Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.Thread Previous | Thread Next
