Vick Khera <vivek@khera.org> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to perl@FreeBSD.org: Bug 208087: devel/p5-forks patch https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208087 --- Description --- Created attachment 168323 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=168323&action=edit patch to remove version string warning With modern perl versions (I'm using 5.20), the included Storable module has a version number which is non-numeric. This results in every program written with the p5-forks module to emit this warning: Argument "2.49_01" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.20/forks.pm line 1570. The module itself has not been updated in a long time, but there is a proposed patch for this on the CPAN bug database at https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=102730 which is what I implement with this local patch in the port. The Debian project has done similar: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/libforks-perl.git/tree/debian /patches/storable-version-checkhome | help
