This doesn't build; you'll need at least a build dependency on
perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker).

There's also a test suite, but you'll need many more modules to run it (at least
perl(Test::More), perl(Danga::Socket), perl(Gearman::Objects) and
perl(Gearman::Server).  (The last one isn't yet available.)  Even then I'm not
sure it's possible to run the test in mock or within the buildsys.

I added a BuildRequires for perl-Gearman-Server (#245697, will build that one toninght for rawhide) and 
enabled the tests, and 
all test pass in mock for devel.

Hmm, this fails to build for me, due to one of the tests failing:

t/err8............Can't call method "watch_read" on an undefined value at
t/err8.t line 57.
# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.
dubious
        Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)

Hi Jason,

I think Danga::Socket was missing in the BR.

Does this version fix it for you? 
http://rubenkerkhof.com/packages/perl-Gearman-Client-Async.spec
http://rubenkerkhof.com/packages/perl-Gearman-Client-Async-0.94-3.fc7.src.rpm

Unfortunately not; it still fails in the same manner.

I'm thinking that test is simply broken;
 my $socket = Danga::Socket->DescriptorMap->{3};
returns undef, but it's making an assumption about which file descriptor is
being wrapped.  I note that this is the only test which calls
Danga::Docket::DescriptorMap.

I don't really know why it would consistently fail for me and work for you.  I'm
building on x86_64; the host is running FC5 and mock is pointed at the
development repository.

Strange, my mock is pointed to devel as well, host is running F-7 on i686.

I've asked for help on the upstream mailinglist yesterday, I hope someone can reproduce/fix this.

Do you consider this as a blocker?
The alternative is for me to disable that test, it doesn't seem to really test the functionality of Gearman and 
Danga::Socket.

Well, if it doesn't build in the buildsys then you'll have bigger problems.

But if you're confident that it's a bug in the test then I'd say just delete
t/err8.t in the %check section and add a comment explaining why you're doing it
and I'd say it's fine.

Ok, I disabled the test in err8.t
