NAME

DBIx::Class::StartupCheck - Run environment checks on startup

SYNOPSIS

  use DBIx::Class::StartupCheck;

DESCRIPTION

This module used to check for, and if necessary issue a warning for, a particular bug found on Red Hat and Fedora systems using their system perl build. As of September 2008 there are fixed versions of perl for all current Red Hat and Fedora distributions, but the old check still triggers, incorrectly flagging those versions of perl to be buggy. A more comprehensive check has been moved into the test suite in "t/99rh_perl_perf_bug.t" and further information about the bug has been put in DBIx::Class::Manual::Troubleshooting.

Other checks may be added from time to time.

Any checks herein can be disabled by setting an appropriate environment variable. If your system suffers from a particular bug, you will get a warning message on startup sent to STDERR, explaining what to do about it and how to suppress the message. If you don't see any messages, you have nothing to worry about.
