| Subject: | Tests fail on Linux |
On a recently installed Debian system, also on a RedHat 9.0 system
the following command fails:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache::Cookie'
Here is the output from the attempt to run tests:
Running make test

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/.cpan/build/libapreq-1.2/c'

FAILED--1 test script could be run, alas--no output ever seen
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2
/usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
And in the unlikely event that you need it, here is perl -V
# perl -V
