Subject: Tests referring to 'perl' instead of $^X
https://metacpan.org/source/FRACTAL/App-Unliner-0.006/t/args.t#L6 Tests must not use the first perl in the path for testing, there is no guarantee that the perl they are testing at the moment is the first in the path. This explains why the test complains about missing libraries even though they are installed. The proper way to run tests with the right perl is to use $^X or in complicated cases Probe::Perl. HTH&&Regards,
Thanks for the tip. I will fix this in the next release. Doug
I ended up using $Config{perlpath} which is even better than $^X according to this site: http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes Test results aren't a complete embarrassment any more but there's still something strange happening on some solaris hosts and I may in the future figure out what to do about win32. Cheers, Doug
