| Subject: | Makefile.PL doesn't honor proxy settings |
Hi,
When running the Makefile.PL, the get_live() function tests for a
direct connection to the big wide internet. However, a direct
connection shouldn't be necessary, as W::M says it can also handle a
proxy connection.
If I try to work around the issue and manually issue "perl
Makefile.PL --live" (or, presumably, just answer "y" to the question
about live tests), then I get only the following failures, which look
like they might just be due to google reorganization:
t/live/follow_link.t 1 256 7 1 14.29% 6
t/live/get.t 6 1536 26 6 23.08% 9 12-13 15 17 22
So my best guess is that if the sensing of the internet connection
could be changed to use LWP instead of a direct socket, and if the
tests could be fixed to reflect google's new structure (or not to use
google at all), the issue would be solved.
