Re: Can't require MCE::Map (Strawberry)?

[Discipulus]

Hello Anonymous Monk (consider registering an account ;),

Unfortunately not a MCE expert, just a big promoter, but generally speaking use X is transalted with require X; import X LIST eventually inside BEGIN to mimicry exatly use

Consider, in StrawberryPerl:

C>perl -we "require MCE::Map; MCE::Map-> init(user_begin => sub {},use
+r_end => sub {}); my @a = MCE::Map->run( sub { $_ }, [ 0 .. 9 ]);"
# CTRL-C
Terminating on signal SIGINT(2)
MCE::shutdown: method is not allowed while running at -e line 0.
END failed--call queue aborted, <__ANONIO__> line 80992.

                             # LOOK HERE    #
C>perl -we "require MCE::Map; import MCE::Map; MCE::Map-> init(user_be
+gin => sub {},user_end => sub {}); my @a = MCE::Map->run( sub { $_ },
+ [ 0 .. 9 ]);"

Yeah, thanks. Apparently, MCE::Map::import pre-assigns 'auto' to the CHUNK_SIZE property of a global, and if it's not assigned, then because of line 235, just before 'run', the chunk size is returned/gets undefined (why?) and somehow silently treated as zero (just guessing, didn't debug further), hence infinite loop. I'm now inclined to using the MCE proper anyway, but I think the situation is worth for Mario to have a look at.

Have you considered filing an actual bug report? Or tagging Mario on this, which will now generate a notification for him?
