| Subject: | Failed tests when when the perl is called from a syslink |
Hi,
On UNIX it's very common to use soft links to add selected binaries to a
directories in the PATH. In my case, I add perl, prove and cpan to
/opt/$COMPANY/bin.
The test 02-usage.t breaks because it assumes catalyst.pl is in the same
directory as perl:
my $catscript = ($^O eq "MSWin32") ? "catalyst" : "catalyst.pl";
This is the result of the "make test":
oot@supay:~/lib/perl-5.12.2/cpan/build/Catalyst-Helper-AuthDBIC-0.14-
9wBf9C# make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /export/home/SysAdmin/craAdmin/bin/perl "-

When running the test through the debugger we see this:
DB<2> c

line 448
Workaround: create a syslink for catalyst.pl as well. It would be handy
if the test would look for catalyst in the pre-defined directories where
perl install binaries (perl -V)?
Thanks,
C.
