make install fails on no write

Hmm, was trying to install this for the advent calendar and I got a problem with make install. I'm not sure what's up here, so here's a list of the output of the CPAN shell during a install... Show quoted text

I had this issue too, the problem is that you are running the test as root. For some reason the root user can still write to the file even though it is set to read-only for everyone. Run the test as a normal user and it works fine. John Gedeon

DC et al- The test 03nowrite.t itself seems to be the problem (when run by root). I get something like: test 1/2 passes test 2/2 fails Now it looks to me like test 2 doesn't work because it seems to check that a file with perms 444 (no write) cannot be written to, and (of course) when running as root, the perms don't matter. I couldn't figure out how to get the test suite to run as non-root -- got a bunch of errors including "Uncaught exception..Could not vf_load..BEGIN failed". I simply disabled the 2nd test of 03nowrite.t to verify that all the other tests for make test pass, and then did a make install. After install, I copied test 03nowrite and as non-root, it passes 2/2 tests. Regards ..jim

The included patch skips the failing test if you're root. I suppose it could use skip(-w foo,...) but it doesn't... Damian can send me a perl6 book if he feels so inclined :) It carries the same license and warranty as perl. Enjoy, Scott Edwards -- PAUSE: SUPAPLEX

This was fixed some time ago, when Damian gave me co-maintainership. Forgot to look into tickets and close them. Cheers Alberto
