Hi fluffy,

I ran into this problem last night. I didn't send the email because I've seen those test failures for CMM for a long time and since there are also a variety of open issues in the CMM RT queue, I just moved on. I don't mean this as any offense to you, but there are days when I just get tired of documenting and tracking every bug I find in large external modules. There's also the problem that CMM apparently assumes I'm using a hash internally. This breaks some of my code. So not only did I have difficult installing it, it really doesn't do what I need.

I did check and see I still have the info in my buffer. If you're curious:

This is Perl 5.8.7 on Mac OS X.

I switched to CPAN (instead of CPANPLUS) and CMM installed just from from a CPAN::Mini installation.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
