This appears to be because there is a hardcoded /usr/bin/perl shebang line. #!/usr/bin/env perl Would be much better since perl installed in alternate locations such as under /home/perl5 like in perlbrew or /usr/local/bin would be detected via path.

I don't think this is the problem -- shebang lines are ignored in tests because they are invoked with a specific perl. /usr/bin/env perl would not be correct in any instance, as that doesn't work on all distributions, and whenever a new perl process is invoked, $^X should be used. For me, using perlbrew on perl 5.23.1 on darwin, I can run tests just fine, but not install: : [ether@jaeger 1438301697.22865/PAR-Dist-0.49]$; perl Makefile.PL && make test Checking if your kit is complete...

Please post the output of "make test" instead of making wild guesses. Even better would be the output of $ perl Makefile:PL $ make $ make test and $ perl -v $ perl -V Cheers, Roderich
