If you build perl on Windows without -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS (which I do, in order to enable -DPEL_MALLOC, which seems faster than using the system malloc()) then you don't get the fork() emulation and several of Plack's tests fail. This commit skips those tests in the same manner as various other CPAN modules do in this case. This allows a normal "cpan install ..." of Plack or anything depending on it (e.g. Dancer) to succeed without having to "force" anything.

Thanks for the patch. But obviously repeating this same code chunk in 13 test files, as well as possibly a few other distribution is considered not the great practice. I would suggest making this a Test:: module, so that we can inject in as a test requirement (like Test::Requires). |
