Re: Test suite problems

Mee too had the same problem. I put a small hack like below in the
Test.pm file at lines around 382

- commented the join statement and hard-code some text for reason

#my $reason = join ' or ', @need;
my $reason = 'useless message';

Now the tests are successful though it gives the same error msg. I
believe this error message is meaningless since the line number does not
change even i insert few blank lines before.

"Use of uninitialized value in join or string
at /home/colmmacc/svn/httpd/test/trunk/perl-framework/Apache-Test/lib/Apache/Test.pm line 382."

Can some one explore the reason and fix it if there is a bug?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Sris

Hi
Thanks a lot. It works fine now.

This happens if you "svn up" an already-configured perl-framework 
checkout past the r357718 change, sorry about that.

Just checkout a fresh perl-framework tree and it will go away.  IIRC 
once you suffer from the problem it's not possible to recover the 
checkout because "make clean" no longer works.  But doing "make clean; 
svn up; perl Makefile.PL ..." would also have worked and is generally a 
Good Idea (in hindsight :).
