But I have read these messages and the related RT ticket and I can't really work out what problem is being solved or how, nor what it is I need to do. Can you please explain in one short sentence each a) What is the problem b) What is the intended nature of a possible fix and optionally (and I really mean optionally) c) Provide a .diff file patch that fixes it Thanks, ---- As a more general note to the world: This is verymuch the way to get me to do something. Explain what's wrong with the code I've made, don't try to fix it yourself. There is a reason why most of my personal projects do not appear on github. I find the entire culture is centered around "patch first, ask questions later". It's a style of interaction that does not work well for me. Explain to me the problem first and I'll likely be able to fix it. But if you just come running in with a patch first, I have to reverse-engineer what the problem was that it was trying to fix, before I can evaluate the relative merits of that change vs. anything else that could be done. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Previous | Thread Next
