I am not entirely sure I have followed your instructions. What I have
done is, first edit the t/fam.t and added use diagnostics, then
edited the Makefile/test section and made
TEST_VERBOSE=1
Then run `make test` and saw:
t/fam....Can't locate Test/Helper.pm in @INC...
Installed Test::Helper (Should that have been installed already?)
make clean;Perl Makefile.PL and got a new error:
Ignore "Not a known parameter name" warnings.WARNING: PRCS_PROJECT is
not a known parameter.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
'PRCS_PROJECT' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lC
Writing Makefile for SGI::FAM
The make tests now fail with a more exotic error message (should I
post the whole thing?). A snip of which is below:

I guess I could ask the maintainer/author. Is there anything from
that output that stands out? I can't say that I can see a trail here.
Thanx,
Dp.
