Greetings Tried to install Test::Simple via CPAN. Tried to download it and build it. Both ways wind with the error: Writing Makefile for Test::Simple Makefile:84: *** missing separator. Stop. /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Also, the script can't seem to find pod2man even though it is in the path. Thanks Mike

Thanks for the report. As the Makefile is built by MakeMaker this is unlikely isolated to Test::Simple, can you install any other modules? What version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker are you using? [1] That it's trying to look for pod2man indicates it's probably old. You can try upgrading that first, then installing Test::Simple. Could you please attach a copy of the broken Makefile? [1] perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -wle 'print ExtUtils::MakeMaker->VERSION' -- 52.

Its been over two years, haven't heard from the original requester, probably using the wrong make. Rejecting.
