Subject: Test-Pod-1.20
Distribution: Test-Pod-1.20 [jimk 530]$ perl -v This is perl, v5.8.4 built for darwin-2level [jimk 531]$ uname -a Darwin Macintosh.local 7.9.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.9.0: Wed Mar 30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root:xnu/xnu-517.12.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc I was going to write a patch for a small documentation bug in Test-Pod, so I figured I should upgrade from 1.16 to the latest version. To my surprise, I got massive errors during 'make test', which I have not yet had time to diagnose. Here is the error report. ***** START ERROR REPORT ***** Show quoted text

***** END ERROR REPORT ***** I also ran prove -vb on the 4 files which failed, but the output was the same as in 'make test' above, so I won't reproduce that here. Also: Is there any particular reason why this distribution lacks a README? Jim Keenan

It appears that in each case of failure, an extra line beginning with a # sign was output before the '# # Failed test ...' line I seem to recall discussion some months back on perl.qa re problems due to changes in Test::More's default output. Could this be due to that? I'm using v0.60 of Test::More. Jim Keenan

I used the cpan shell to install Test::Pod today on a Windows box on which (a) neither Test:: Pod nor its prerequisites such as Pod::Simple had ever been installed; and (b) Test::More was still at v0.54. All tests were successful and installation was okay. Which reinforces my belief that the problem I originally reported was due to the interaction between Test::Pod and Test::More v0.60. Jim Keenan

I had hoped that Schwern's v0.62 of Test-Simple distribution would fix this problem. I installed that this morning and tried to install Test-Pod-1.20 fresh (both via cpan shell and manuallly). The errors persisted. Here is an excerpt from the output: [Test-Pod-1.20 523]$ make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/all_pod_files........ok t/cut-outside-block....NOK 2 # Failed test 't/cut-outside-block.pod is bad' # in t/cut-outside-block.t at line 20. # STDERR is: # # # Failed test 'POD test for t/cut-outside-block.pod' # # in t/cut-outside-block.t at line 15. # # t/cut-outside-block.pod (5): =cut found outside a pod block. Skipping to next block. # # not: # # Failed test (t/cut-outside-block.t at line 15) # # t/cut-outside-block.pod (5): =cut found outside a pod block.
