Direzione di ricerca

Start by reading the parser or compiler handling for indirect-object constructor calls under strict subs, using the reported new Date::Manip::Base expression in Date/Manip/Obj.pm line 137 as the reproduction. Add focused project-owned regression coverage and validate the case with standard Perl, then run it on both PerlOnJava backends. Done means the regression and the two named upstream test programs pass on both backends.

Descrizione

area:parser bug

Summary

DateTime::Format::DateManip 0.04 cannot load under PerlOnJava when its runtime dependency Date::Manip 7.00 is on the Perl5 library path. The failure reproduces on both the JVM and interpreter backends, while the same unmodified upstream tests pass under system Perl.

The public error from Date::Manip is generic because its loader catches the backend import exception. Exposing that exception shows a strict-subs compilation error in Date::Manip::Obj at the indirect-object constructor call:

$base = new Date::Manip::Base;

PerlOnJava reports Bareword "Date::Manip::Base" not allowed while "strict subs" is in use. This points to a parser/compiler compatibility gap involving valid indirect-object syntax under strict subs.

Reproduction

CPAN random tester run: 20261111-090841-71684

  • Target distribution: DateTime-Format-DateManip 0.04
  • Required dependency: Date-Manip 7.00
  • Failing upstream tests: t/00load.t and t/01conversions.t
  • Archived result: 2/2 test programs fail because Date::Manip::DM6 fails to load.

With those versions available on PERL5LIB, the minimal public reproducer is:

use DateTime::Format::DateManip;

Expected: module load succeeds.

Actual on both PerlOnJava backends:

ERROR LOADING MODULE: Date::Manip::DM6

The underlying error, exposed by evaluating require Date::Manip::DM6; Date::Manip::DM6->import(), is:

Bareword "Date::Manip::Base" not allowed while "strict subs" is in use
at Date/Manip/Obj.pm line 137.

The failing call is compiled under use strict in Date::Manip::Obj. This is a dependency load failure, not an XS build or platform prerequisite failure; the archived run installed the module's Perl files and skipped its optional C source.

System Perl and backend comparison

The exact CPAN versions were installed into an isolated local library, without modifying either distribution:

  • System Perl 5.34.1: Date-Manip 7.00 suite passed, 209 files / 4,533 tests; DateTime-Format-DateManip 0.04 suite passed, 2 files / 7 tests.
  • PerlOnJava JVM backend: reproducer fails with the strict-subs error above.
  • PerlOnJava interpreter backend: same failure and diagnostic.

Environment: macOS on aarch64, Java 24.0.2. The reproducing checkout was at 7925f28d12c0eea36deceb8f4ccfddeff67c4900; its launcher banner reported PerlOnJava v5.44.1 and build hash 37f90e72f.

Dependency evidence

MetaCPAN's Date-Manip dependent-distribution page lists 66 dependent CPAN releases. Four listed releases are dated within the three years before this report, including Mail-Milter-Authentication, Finance-Quote, Date-ManipX-Almanac, and Date-RangeParser-EN.

The project targeted reverse-dependency query could not verify the runtime-only unique dependant count because MetaCPAN's API connection failed TLS certificate verification after retries. The page count above is therefore distribution-level evidence, not a confirmed runtime-only count.

Expected behavior and acceptance

  • Date::Manip 7.00 and DateTime::Format::DateManip 0.04 load successfully on both PerlOnJava backends, matching system Perl.
  • Add focused project-owned regression coverage for the valid new Date::Manip::Base construct under strict subs, after validating the test with standard Perl.
  • The focused regression passes on both backends, and the target upstream tests pass on both backends.
