RHBA-2012:1440 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated perl-IPC-Run3 packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The perl-IPC-Run3 packages provide a module to run subprocesses and redirect the
stdin, stdout, and stderr functionalities to files and perl data structures. The
perl-IPC-Run3 package allows to use system, qx, and open3 modules with a simple
API.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, binary perl-IPC-Run3 packages failed to build if the

perl-Time-HiRes module was not installed. This update adds the perl-Time-HiRes
package to the build-time dependencies for perl-IPC-Run3. (BZ#657487)

• Prior to this update, tests that called the IP-Run3 profiler failed when the

internal perl-IPC-Run3 test suite was used. This update, adds run-time
dependencies on perl(Getopt::Long) and perl(Time::HiRes) to the perl-IPC-Run3
package because certain IP-Run3 functions require the perl modules. Now, the
IPC-Run3 profiler runs as expected. (BZ#870089)

All users of perl-IPC-Run3 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
