| Subject: | Depends on external cp to support -al |
While watching cpantesters results I discovered this:
[ERROR] [Mon Feb 8 18:49:20 2010] MAKE TEST failed: No such file or
directory PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1
/export/home/cpan/pit/bare/perl-5.10.0/bin/perl
"-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib',
'blib/arch')" t/*.t

Here is the link to the report:

There are really many such FAIL reports:

Maybe this could be detected at Makefile.PL time? If so I'd recommend to
tell the user in a message and exiting the Makefile.PL without writing a
Makefile. This is described as a good way to prevent FAIL reports with
known error conditions at http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes
