Subject: MM fails tests if PERL_MM_OPT is used
ExtUtils-MakeMaker 6.30 on MacOSX 10.4, stock perl (5.8.6). I use this settings to install modules in my home directory: export PERL_MM_OPT='INSTALLDIRS=perl LIB=/Users/dakkar/Library/Perl/ INSTALLBIN=/Users/dakkar/bin INSTALLSCRIPT=/Users/dakkar/bin/ INSTALLMAN1DIR=/Users/dakkar/man/man1 INSTALLMAN3DIR=/Users/dakkar/man/man3' They work perfectly (I use a similar setup for Module::Build), but I discovered that MakeMaker fails its tests. I'm attaching the output of 'make test TEST_VERBOSE=1' to help in the diagnosis. BTW, even if the tests are failing, MM work correctly once installed.

Huh. I wasn't even aware that existed. Show quoted text

Yeah, because it doesn't take into account that a user might have PERL_MM_OPT set so its getting unexpected arguments when it tries to test itself. The simple fix, for you, is to unset PERL_MM_OPT before running the tests. I'll have to adjust the tests to do that themselves. -- Michael G Schwern schwern@pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~schwern Don't try the paranormal until you know what's normal. -- "Lords and Ladies" by Terry Prachett
