| Subject: | PodParser-1.18 fails make test under perl 5.8, IRIX 6.5.14 |
I was making PDL which requires podselect, and, it couldn't find it. Even though CPAN module was listing Pod::Select as up-to-date, it obviously wasn't. By downloading and making manually, I got everything to compile for the PDL module, however, I noticed that PodParser was failing some of its tests. I don't know it well enough to tell if there is an actual problem.
To summarize: automated CPAN version checking for Pod::Select and Pod::Parser is broken (i.e. it failed to detect a bad and/or failed install). Pod::Parser is failing some of its test under perl 5.8
