Problem with duckpan server in Web.pm and Server.pm about p5-app-duckpan HOT 9 CLOSED

@HackOrQuack thanks a lot for mentioning this -- I believe the difference in the line numbers is because the installed version of the files will have a few extra lines of text added to them thanks to DZIL -- If you compare the first few lines you'll see some extra info about the installed version that looks like this:

BEGIN {
    $App::DuckPAN::Web::AUTHORITY = 'cpan:DDG';
}
# ABSTRACT: Webserver for duckpan server
$App::DuckPAN::Web::VERSION = '0.137';

Btw, what version of Perl are you using? We test with 5.10, 5.14 and 5.16 and we use 5.16 regularly. I'm not seeing that warning but it does look like using keys on references was introduced in 5.14 -- I'll switch to 5.14 and see what happens...

from p5-app-duckpan.

Nothing with 5.14, or 5.18, trying 5.21...

from p5-app-duckpan.

I'm using perl 5.20.0-5 it's the latest version available from the arch repositories.

from p5-app-duckpan.

Couldn't replicate with 5.21 either, I'll try 5.20 now... not that it should matter, but are you running this in the Goodie or Spice repo?

from p5-app-duckpan.

I'm running it with the Spice repo.

Perl 5.20 now shows a warning for this and it looks like we have to fix it. See https://metacpan.org/source/RJBS/perl-5.20.0/pod/perldiag.pod#L2708 for the documentation.

Some projects have started to fix it, too: https://github.com/taunger/Config-Source/blob/master/Changes#L9

from p5-app-duckpan.

It's now treated as a severe warning (S) A severe warning (enabled by default).

from p5-app-duckpan.

@jagtalon thanks for finding that -- really odd that it didn't occur in 5.21, I didn't get around to testing 5.20 but will try and confirm, then fix

from p5-app-duckpan.

Made a PR ^, should be good now :). Thanks again for reporting this @HackOrQuack
