Hi Michael
I'd like to discuss several issues re ExtUtils::MakeMaker,
so I'll number the sections for clarity.
All this is on `uname -all`:
SunOS ssapp0117 5.9 Generic_117171-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
with 24 Gb of RAM.
My test box has got 64 Gb (heh heh heh).
(1)
I install all modules in my own dir, so here's how I get the version number:
$PERL -I$INSTALL -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e 'print
"$ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION\n"'
No surprise there.
Now, 2 outputs from installing V 6.31, separated by lines of equal signs.
In the first case I unpacked the distro, cd'ed into the dir, and run the
command which follows. In the second case I ran the same command
(cut-and-paste)
from within a batch file. The test outputs are different. This confuses me.
The batch file includes unpacking the distro.
It's true that I don't have ExtUtils::CBuilder installed, and there is no
compiler.
Also, I've included the output of manually running (and killing) dos2unix
in case it helps.

When I install a module which depends on another module, and the latter
is already installed in my dir, my command
$PERL -I$INSTALL Makefile.PL PREFIX=$INSTALL LIB=$INSTALL
works in terms of finding the dependency, but does not work when running
the tests. It seems -I$INSTALL is not passed thru to the testing phase.
Is this correct? I read the docs for ExtUtils::MakeMaker and the FAQ
but could not see anything referring to this matter.
Is there something I can do to humour 'make test'?
(3)
The FAQ, under Module Installation, says:
perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=~
It'd help Windows users if this was added:
Under MS Windows, use instead:
perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=\perl-modules
Then a few lines down:
use lib "$ENV{HOME}/lib/perl5";
would become:
use lib "/perl-modules/lib/perl5";
(4)
The FAQ, under Philosophy and History, says:
pure perl. no make, no shell commands
This makes me uneasy, since I believe now that M::B depends on
a module which requires a compiler, so, although strictly true,
your can't install M::B without a compiler. Sigh.
Is that worth clarifying?
