Changes for version 1.14 - 2007-05-11

  • FIXES
    • Fixes test failures. Thanks to Mark Blackman for RT #26602:
      • The module tests currently spawn a server (based on HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI) which is killed when a __DIE__ signal is received, normally only when the invoking perl dies. However, as perlvar makes clear, the __DIE__ signal is received when eval blocks die as well. The new version (1.22) of WWW::Mechanize now calles HTTP::Message::decoded_content which calls Encode.pm which has a eval block that require's Encode::ConfigLocal which is usually not present, so the eval dies and the HTTP server is killed as soon as the $mech object tries to do a 'get'. It's simple to use a system variable, $^S to find out if the __DIE__ signal is being called for an eval so we ignore that case with the patch attached.
    • The stuff_inputs() function now actually works.
  • DOCUMENTATION
    • Made the synopsis show that T:W:M doesn't take the tests=>$x like other Test::* modules. It'd be nice if it did, though.
