Description Jason Gallagher 2005-02-13 20:38:42 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.3) Gecko/20050104 Red Hat/1.4.3-3.0.7

Description of problem:
All modules should return true if they load successfully. Man::Pod doesn't.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.8.0-89.10

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. perl -we 'eval "require Pod::Man"; print $@'
2.
3.
  

Actual Results:  Produced the following output:

Pod/Man.pm did not return a true value at (eval 1) line 3.

Expected Results:  Shouldn't have printed anything.

Additional info:

Add a final line which evaluates to true, e.g. "1;". This has been fixed in the current stable version of Perl (5.8.6).

Comment 1 Jason Vas Dias 2005-11-09 01:37:36 UTC
This is fixed with perl-5.8.0-90.2 .
