Subject: Inline::C runs Makefile.PL in non-clean environment
The tests fail when PERL_INSTALL_ROOT env var is set. My best guess is that Makefile.PL should not be run without cleaning the environment first.

If it's just the PERL_INSTALL_ROOT env var that's causing the problem, perhaps I can just delete() that key (and its value) from %ENV in each and every one of the test scripts. (I gather it must play some role during installation of the module - in which case it should hopefully be fine to remove it in the test scripts.) What does this variable actually do ? Who uses it ? And to what sort of value is it normally set ? Cheers, Rob

ExtUtils::Install PERL_INSTALL_ROOT is basically the equivalent to "make DESTDIR=...". From what I saw, Inline::C uses ExtUtils/Module::Build or so to temporarily build Perl modules. You don't need to clean the environment for your modules -- just when invoking the perl module build process.

Thanks. In the next release of Inline, the need to make provision for PERL_INSTALL_ROOT will be documented in Inline.pod and affected test scripts will start with something like: ################### BEGIN { if (exists $ENV{PERL_INSTALL_ROOT}) { warn "\nIgnoring \$ENV{PERL_INSTALL_ROOT} in $0\n"; delete $ENV{PERL_INSTALL_ROOT}; } }; ################### This will allow the tests to pass without - and still allow Inline itself to be installed in the user's intended location. Cheers, Rob
