Re^3: Crash with ForkManager on Windowsby kcott (Archbishop) |

Feedback, so far, is showing crashes on Windows Perl versions 5.14 and 5.16; however, 5.24 on Windows did not crash. "CPAN Testers Matrix: Parallel-ForkManager 1.19" is showing failures (for "mswin32") up to 5.22.3, but no failures for 5.24.0 or higher. There's virtually no failures for any other platforms: two very old "linux" ones for 5.8.x; and one other for "cygwin" 5.22.2 (which I believe only runs on Windows anyway). You should probably dig a bit deeper into this than I have, but problems do not appear to be solely related to ActivePerl; while looking around I came across this GitHub bug report: "Parallel::Forkmanager 1.19 cpan install fails on Windows Server 2016 Strawberry Perl 5.16.3". (Don't take that one report as being in any way conclusive.) Obviously, installation failures are not the same as crashes, but a trend is suggested. Again, something for you to look into further. I'd suggest installing a newer Perl (at least 5.24.0; but 5.26.0 — the highest stable version — would be better) and trying the code again with that. Also ensure you've got the latest versions of the modules you're using. — Ken
