Subject: The Test::Reporter POD is not installed
The Test::Reporter pod (lib/Test/Reporter.pod) is not installed at all. As a result, "perldoc Test::Reporter" does not work.

Thanks, it was hard-coding '.3' instead of $(MAN3EXT) - which is '.3pm'. 1.23 will install the man page with the proper extension. If you find this is not the case, please submit the scrollback from your installation attempt. Show quoted text
> Installing /man/man3/Test::Reporter.3pm

I'm sorry, but the installation of the man page is not the problem. On my system, the man page is installed as: <<< shlomi:~$ ls /usr/share/man/man3/Test\:\:Reporter* | cat /usr/share/man/man3/Test::Reporter.3 /usr/share/man/man3/Test::Reporter.3pm Show quoted text
>>>
And yet perldoc Test::Reporter fails. The problem is that perldoc looks for either .pod documents (the Real POD, the source from which nroff documents/HTML/LaTeX/whatever are generated), or for documentation within the module. If that's not installed then perldoc won't work. Have you tried running "perldoc Test::Reporter" after installation? Regards, Shlomi Fish Show quoted text

Okay, I'm going to reintegrate Reporter.pod into Reporter.pm so that this problem goes away. Thanks for your patience with this. - R.
