调研方向

Start with _root_pm_install_path in src/main/perl/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm, which returns on the first package matching NAME or NAME::. Change it to scan all package declarations in the root .pm, prefer an exact NAME match, and fall back to a nested declaration only when none exists. Add a MakeMaker regression test with a root module that declares a nested helper package first, and check that the file stages at the exact main-module path.

描述

area:cpan-port bug

Summary

The PerlOnJava CPAN run for Algorithm-Tree-NCA 0.02 fails because the MakeMaker compatibility layer stages its main module at the wrong path. The distribution provides a single root-level NCA.pm, but that file declares a helper package before its main package. PerlOnJava maps it to the helper package path, so the distribution's test programs cannot load Algorithm::Tree::NCA.

Evidence

  • CPAN random-tester run: 20261015-111423-76219
  • Distribution: Algorithm-Tree-NCA 0.02 (Algorithm::Tree::NCA)
  • Upstream files: t/basic.t, t/preprocess.t, and t/random.t
  • System Perl 5.42.2: PASS; all 3 files and 16 tests pass.
  • PerlOnJava CPAN test: FAIL; all 3 files stop before executing assertions because Algorithm/Tree/NCA.pm cannot be found (0/0 assertions ran).
  • The PerlOnJava MakeMaker output maps NCA.pm to Algorithm/Tree/NCA/Data.pm.
  • The distribution has no XS/native code or external service prerequisite.

The module file begins with package Algorithm::Tree::NCA::Data; and later declares package Algorithm::Tree::NCA;. The stock MakeMaker build stages the same file as blib/lib/Algorithm/Tree/NCA.pm, after which the complete test suite passes.

Root cause

src/main/perl/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm, in _root_pm_install_path, scans a root .pm file and returns as soon as it sees a package equal to NAME or prefixed by NAME::. For this distribution, the first matching declaration is the nested helper package Algorithm::Tree::NCA::Data, so the function immediately chooses Algorithm/Tree/NCA/Data.pm and never reaches the exact main-package declaration later in the file.

This treats the first matching package as the module represented by the file. A root file can declare helper packages before its primary package, so the exact NAME declaration needs to take precedence over nested declarations.

Proposed fix

Scan all package declarations in the root module before selecting the destination. Prefer an exact declaration matching NAME; use a nested NAME::... declaration only as a fallback when there is no exact declaration. Preserve the existing NAME-derived fallback for files with no matching package.

Add a MakeMaker regression test with a root-level module that declares a nested helper package before its main package. Verify that staging places the file at the exact main module path and that the module can be loaded from blib/lib.

Acceptance criteria

  • The new regression test passes under system Perl and PerlOnJava.
  • Algorithm-Tree-NCA 0.02's three upstream test files pass through the PerlOnJava CPAN build/test path.
  • Existing tests for root modules that only declare nested packages continue to stage those modules at the appropriate path.

Related issues

These closed reports cover nearby but distinct build compatibility problems: #1279 (custom test include paths), #1372 (pm_to_blib marker creation), and #1432 (Module::Build nested-module staging). This report concerns MakeMaker choosing the wrong destination for a root-level .pm file with multiple package declarations.
