[PATCH] Adjust require exception to perl 5.37.8 wording With perl 5.38.0 t/memmory test fails on Regexp objects:
not ok 9 - regex fails the same as require # Failed test 'regex fails the same as require' # at t/memory.t line 99. # got: 'Can't locate object method "INC" via package "Regexp"' # expected: 'Can't locate object method "INC", nor "INCDIR" nor string overload via package "Regexp" in object hook in @INC' not ok 10 - class without INC fails the same as require # Failed test 'class without INC fails the same as require' # at t/memory.t line 99. # got: 'Can't locate object method "INC" via package "NonHook"' # expected: 'Can't locate object method "INC", nor "INCDIR" nor string overload via package "NonHook" in object hook in @INC'
This is probably caused by this perl commit which also changed the exception text:
commit 0d370d41c6e8fe1e36eb93a5561e6716ee3a7e3e Author: Yves Orton <demerphq@gmail.com> Date: Sun Dec 18 18:48:51 2022 +0100
pp_ctl.c - Check if refs have overloads in @INC
If an object in @INC doesnt have a hook method, and it isnt a CODE ref then check if it has string overloading, if it does not then die with a helpful message, otherwise call the overload
This uses the nice new amagic_find() function.
This patch adjustes Module::Reader::_open_ref() to emit a similar exception text. Though it does implement the missing features like handling INCDIR method or string overloading.
With the new perl it's impossible to get the same exception text in a different way than by calling "require" function. Therefore in the long term, I recommend stop insisting on error-to-error parity and relaxing the tests instead.
