note marioroy <p>Thanks to the CPAN tester by the name David Cantrell, he allowed me to log into his system using a test account.</p> <code> Issue is resolved. I'm going to release an update. Inside Signal.pm, added writeable check -w '/dev/shm' $_tmp_dir_base = ($_use_dev_shm && -d '/dev/shm' && -w '/dev/shm') ? '/dev/shm' : '/tmp'; Also in test script, also added writeable check -w '/dev/shm' use_ok('MCE::Signal', qw( $tmp_dir -use_dev_shm )); if (! exists $ENV{TEMP} && -d '/dev/shm' && -w '/dev/shm') ... </code> <p>I feel so terribly bad that MCE is causing smoke testing to hang out there. I'm thankful for David Cantrell who reported on the issue to me via an email.</p> <p>Do any folks have stories where something like this such as stalling smoke testing? Oh, how I feel horrific at the moment. :(</p> <p>MCE 1.103 should be up on CPAN momentarily.</p> <p>Mario</p> 1005297 1005297
