[ADIE - Tue Sep 20 05:14:52 2005]:
Should be 10 not 11 tests in Mac-Growl.t.
Not for me.
Ok. I'm an idiot. What makes it worse was that I checked the code too :-)
Can you run `make test TEST_VERBOSE=1` and give me the complete output?
Also, supply the versions of Growl, and Mac::Growl, and the output of `perl -v`?

Of course, I got 11 passing tests when I ran it the second time.
After poking a bit more this seems to be the cause of the problem.
If, like me, you don't run 'make' as root, and the Mac::Glue for Growl hasn't already been
installed then you get an error at make time:

I missed this the first time around. This causes the glue test to disappear:

Of course after I "fixed" the plan and installed the growl glue was installed too
