RHBA-2014:0534 - perl-Class-MethodMaker bug fix update

Synopsis

perl-Class-MethodMaker bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated perl-Class-MethodMaker packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The perl-Class-MethodMake packages provide the perl module Class::MethodMaker which solves the problem of having to continually write accessor methods for your objects that perform standard tasks.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the perl-Class-MethodMake source package contained some source code used for testing that was licensed under a restrictive license. This bug fix removes all tests that used that source code. The binary packages have been updated to use this new source package. However, there has been no change in the functionality of these packages. (BZ#1064837)

Users of perl-Class-MethodMaker are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

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 https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
