Please let me know if you have any problems under perl 5.8.x.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I do know of one issue under perl 5.8.0. If you are installing from
|
||
|
|
a work directory that contains a double colon in one of the
|
||
|
|
component subdirectory names then some of the tests may fail.
|
||
|
|
For example, I do my development work from a subdirectory that
|
||
|
|
has "Mail::IMAPClient" in the path, and 'make test' fails for
|
||
|
|
the subcomponents of Mail::IMAPClient from that path; the test
|
||
|
|
harness is unable to locate the ../lib/blib subdirectory and so
|
||
|
|
cannot load the .pm file. If I install from a different directory
|
||
|
|
without "::"'s then everything tests okay. I do not see this with
|
||
|
|
earlier versions of perl.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A work around is to not install from a subdirectory with "::".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An alternative work around is to do 'make install' before 'make test'.
|
||
|
|
This gets around the problem by placing a copy of the necessary files
|
||
|
|
in your installation directories, so that even though 'make test'
|
||
|
|
cannot find ../blib/lib, it can find the necessary .pm files in your
|
||
|
|
(production!) installation libraries so the tests will still succeed.
|
||
|
|
However, you have to remember to do 'make install' first every time
|
||
|
|
you install a new version of this module, or you will be testing the
|
||
|
|
old version instead of the new one.
