Bug #13831 for load: Problem installing load (failing tests)

Subject:

Problem installing load (failing tests)

Hi. I've been having problems installing the 'load' module required by Thread::Pool. When I try and install it via CPAN.pm it fails tests. When I 'look' in the directory and run 'make test' it fails. When I run 'perl -Mblib t/load01.t' those tests pass, but from that point on I can't run 'make' 'make test' or 'make install' because it claims about not being able to do something with Foo.pm. Weird. Attached is a copy-n-paste of what exactly is going on. I'm using the stock perl that ships with Mac OS X Tiger (This is perl, v5.8.6 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level (with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail).) I tried it on a Linux box running a compiled from source perl 5.8.4. I got the same problems. Thanks for any help. Mark.

Weird.

Well. Maybe. ;-) Foo.pm is a dummy module used in testing, that is created during execution. You probably need to add a -I. to have it find Foo.pm. Show quoted text

Afraid this didn't come along in the email. But it fortunately is on rt.cpan.org. But it doesn't give me an Aha Erlebnis... ;-( Show quoted text

Hmmm... could it be that you have another Foo.pm somewhere on your system? Kind regards, Elizabeth Mattijsen

Look at the fail ratio on CPAN- it's over 90%. It's been broken for quite a while. Any chance it'll be fixed in the next few months?

Sorry, the ticket had escaped my attention (probably because the mails from rt.cpan.org were being bitbucketed), particularly because the problem was with the test-suite only. Once installed, the test-suite would also run without problems ;-( I've adapted the test-suite and uploaded a new version a few days ago already.
