Subject: VMS test issues - Noisy output, expects 'Perl' to invoke correct perl.
Two issues with testing with blead perl. The test ext.t is expecting the VMS command 'Perl' is defined to run perl. The tests install.t and manifypods.t have verbose output that the test harness is interpreting as failure.

I was also about to report an issue with t/ext.t under common Unix systems. The problem is, that the perl running the Module::Build build+tests and the perl in PATH (if it exists at all) may be completely different and may behave differently if PERL5LIB or PERL5OPT environment variables are defined. For example, this may be an issue if the test runs using CPAN::Reporter, which is defining PERL5OPT. The solution is possibly to use $^X instead of perl. Regards, Slaven

From: "John E. Malmberg" <malmberg [...] Encompasserve.org>
The noisy output that I am seeing while running the test manually is not affecting the test harness evaluation of the test, so that part of this bug is not really an issue.
I believe this is resolved as ext.t uses $^X. Please re-open if not the case.
