Config::Trivial 0.70 "Wet Bank Holiday"

[ #33373 ]

At the end of a miserable wet Bank Holiday, I put Config::Trivial 0.70 up onto CPAN. However it's not really a lot different from the earlier 0.60 version. I made some minor tweaks to the build process but that's about all.

The problem is that I planned to do stuff to it but I was distracted over the weekend by my partner who was recovering from a cold and was not happy with the cold and wet weather. She is better now so I'm hoping to sneak out a 0.71 version with the actual things in it I had originally planned...

PS. Does anyone still use Perl 5.6.x, I've not seen test results for pre 5.8 platforms for ages.

There are at least one CPAN tester (david) running perl 5.6.2.

  The people doing CPAN Testers are not representative of all Perl users as a set.
  
  There's a whole bunch of people using older servers with older Perls out there.

    That's what I thought. Our production boxen at work still use 5.6.1... Being production makes them harder to use a testing platforms...
    
    I suppose I'll have to build and install a local 5.6.2 on my Debian Lenny box at home.

5.6.2 (Score:2)

I test everything on 5.6.2. I try to do so within a couple of days of the module being uploaded to the PAUSE, and email the author with FAIL and UNKNOWN results. PASS results only go to the cpan-testers list.
Reasons I might not test your module are if it has a pre-requisite that fails its tests, or another module I was testing crashed my testing script. I have a machine with a guest account and perl 5.6.2 on it if you want to test for yourself. Email me for the details.

  Thanks for the offer but I should download and install a /usr/local/bin copy of 5.6.2, then I can test things properly myself. I was just surprised that when I looked at my test results, I've not seen much 5.6.x activity in a while.

The project I just joined is using 5.6.0 actually. In the re-write I hope to get them up to the 5.8 series.
