Bug Information
Severity: (no value)
Broken in: 1.07
Fixed in: (no value)



Subject: Should handle external binary deps more clearly: ( causes test failure on Win32 where there is no 'sh' )

There's 2 possible approaches to take here:

1. Run code in Makefile.PL to make install exit N/A if external dependencies are not satisfied ( Devel::CheckBin is good for this  )

2. Have code in the test case so it doesn't test shells that it doesn't need.

 

I don't fully understand the code so I'm not sure which you want to use, I suspect the first, or a combination of both.

But it would help clarify between "This dist is failing because something has broken, please file a bug" and "Your system is by design incompatible, you need to fix certain things on your system for this to work".

 

Thanks in advance.
