Crashes when used with Dist::Zilla::Plugin::FatPacker due to Compiler::Lexer

[xsawyerx]

Compiler::Lexer has a bug which is triggered when this plugin is used along with Dist::Zilla::Plugin::FatPacker (correlating bug report).

Compiler::Lexer does not seem maintained (no code changes or releases for over 2 years), but I do believe this might be fixed by the way either this plugin or FatPacker plugin is implemented, which probably trigger each other by accident.

I don't know enough about Compiler::Lexers internals to say anything about what's going on. A backtrace may be helpful though.

Does the same thing happen when running Perl::MinimumVersion::Fast on the fatpacked file? In that case it's not my plugin that's at fault (it's simple enough that that seems unlikely). The most logical explanation would be that it pukes over some unusual input, in which case knowing what module it trips over would be useful knowledge. I'm not sure if there's a more efficient way of figuring this out than trial-and-error.

This is not a bug with the plugin, but with Compiler::Lexer which can be verified regardless of this plugin or Perl::MinimumVersion::Fast.

Feel free to close the bug if you think it's irrelevant to note.

Hello, @xsawyerx @Leont
While exchanging of opinions with the author at the backside, I'm trying now to contribute to Compiler::Lexer.
It will be helpful if you let me know details what content of a file you loaded to Compiler::Lexer.

Thanks.

I cannot recreate the failure so I'm closing all related issues.
