Summary: perl-Config-IniFiles should require IO::Scalar https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=791078 Summary: perl-Config-IniFiles should require IO::Scalar Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: perl-Config-IniFiles AssignedTo: tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: bochecha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx, fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Type: --- Regression: --- Mount Type: --- Documentation: --- Description of problem: It is possible to pass a reference to a variable containing the ini "config file" to Config::IniFiles->new() This feature requires IO::Scalar to be installed. However, rpmbuild doesn't pick this dependency automatically. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-1.fc16.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install perl-Config-IniFiles 2. Run the following perl script: -- test.pl -- use Config::IniFiles; my $ini = "[section]\nkey=value"; my $config = Config::IniFiles->new(-file=>\$ini); ------------- Actual results: On a system without perl-IO-stringy installed, I get: [mathieu@localhost ~]$ perl test.pl Failed to open SCALAR(0x1034c48): No such file or directory at test.pl line 5 This means that the package is missing a requires on perl(IO::Scalar) Expected results: The script should not fail, because perl-IO-stringy would be installed. Additional info: The problem is present both in Fedora 16 and EPEL 6, probably in other releases as well. Note that the requirement should probably be picked up by rpmbuild, my guess is that rpmbuild doesn't like the way IO::Scalar is used in Config::IniFiles: -- lib/Config/IniFiles.pm:2265 -- if (ref($thing) eq "SCALAR") { if (eval { require IO::Scalar; $IO::Scalar::VERSION >= 2.109; }) { return IO::Scalar->new($thing); } else { warn "SCALAR reference as file descriptor requires IO::stringy ". "v2.109 or later" if ($^W); return; } } --------------------------------- Perhaps it could be added to the spec file in the meantime? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
