Looks like whatever you have installed as /usr/bin/ispell isn't actually ispell. However, I don't think this is really that broken; note that the test case was correctly skipped. Is the problem you're reporting the extraneous stderr output? I can look at suppressing that. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>

My error. The above is a syntax error on Fedora FC7+ (I'm using FC9).

ispell -l has meant the same thing for something like ten years and has never required an additional parameter. Did Fedora make some sort of local change to ispell's option parsing? Hm, maybe it wants -p before -l; I can try that. Show quoted text

Clarify what 'run by hand' means (as this must be different than running the individual test) and I'll send you the output.

That's what I meant, but now I'm confused, since above you see a failure and here you don't see any failures, just one skip. Could you try: perl -Iblib/lib t/text.t instead?

Hum... I just did a reinstall of perl and now it works. Now I'm confused. Looks like this is some type of Pod::Simple bug which arises when Pod::Simple is upgraded, as this is what's on my system after an upgrade: net1#find /common/pkgs/perl-5.10.0-34372 | grep 'Pod/Simple.pm' /common/pkgs/perl-5.10.0-34372/lib/5.10.0/Pod/Simple.pm /common/pkgs/perl-5.10.0-34372/lib/site_perl/5.10.0/Pod/Simple.pm net1#grep VERSION /common/pkgs/perl-5.10.0-34372/lib/5.10.0/Pod/Simple.pm $VERSION @ISA $VERSION = '3.05'; return "$class $VERSION"; my $v = $class->VERSION; return "$class $v (" . __PACKAGE__ . " $VERSION)"; net1#grep VERSION /common/pkgs/perl-5.10.0-34372/lib/site_perl/5.10.0/Pod/Simple.pm $VERSION @ISA $VERSION = '3.07'; return "$class $VERSION"; my $v = $class->VERSION; return "$class $v (" . __PACKAGE__ . " $VERSION)"; If I remove the older '3.05' version, then the Pod::Man bug appears. I'll open a bug against Pod::Simple to correctly clean up all previous version residue when a new version is installed. -- Love feeling your best ever, all day, every day?

If the version you're running is 3.05, this test case is skipped. If you're running 3.07, the test case should succeed. It sounds like it's failing with 3.07, which is unexpected. If you can run the test case manually (perl -Iblib/lib t/text.t) with Pod::Simple 3.07 and show me the failing output, maybe I can figure out what's going on there. It really should succeed in that case (not even be skipped). -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>

Easier said than done as Pod::Simple is broken. Core installs this in lib/$ver and updates install it in lib/site_perl/$ver so I'll have to figure out all the files in the manifest and delete them. It may take a while for me to get to this. Hopefully the bug I opened against Pod::Simple will fix this. -- Love feeling your best ever, all day, every day?

Hm, this is the behavior that I'd expect, actually. Files in site_perl/$ver should override files in lib/$ver, so if you install a newer Pod::Simple in site_perl, that should then be the one that you get by default. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>

There's still some bug with this setup because CPANPLUS never picks up the new version. Each time CPANPLUS is run it shows version 3.05 is installed and goes through the install of 3.07, so something's amiss. -- Love feeling your best ever, all day, every day?

You know, if I'd read this message thoroughly originally, I would have understood the problem. On Red Hat, ispell is actually aspell. I'll fix this in the next release, now that I've figured out how to get aspell to do the right thing. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
aspell is now correctly handled as of podlators 2.1.4.
