Subject: Needs Test::Harness
During the install, all tests failed as a result of Test::Harness not being installed. The install routine did not require the install of Test::Harness. After installing Test::Harness, tests and subsiquent install of Test::Inline works without issue.

Test::Harness is installed, it comes with Perl, but it is probably an older version. It should have been upgraded when Test::More was installed, which *is* a prereq of Test::Inline. Sometimes, when the new version of Test::Harness is installed, the old version remains and comes earlier in @INC so the old version is loaded. This is called "shadowing". If you download and install Test::Harness by hand you might see messages about shadowing. Simplest way to fix this is to delete the other versions. "make install UNINST=1" does this. -- Michael G Schwern schwern@pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ It's Tobacco time!
