Hi!

I'm one of the authors of the Nagios::Plugin perl module. It appears to have quite a few test failures (http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/Nagios-Plugin.html#Nagios-Plugin-0.22 ), primarily on David Cantrall's systems (http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/12/msg860745.html )

The plugin is a handy way of writing Nagios Plugins, so is usually based around a perl script that calls this module. We have in the test suite a "check_stuff.pl" to test it this way which also serves as a template for new plugins. Naturally, it makes sense to run this in the tests.

However, it looks like test failures are due to not being able to locate the newly compiled modules, or its dependencies.

Looking at one of the successful test suites, it looks like PERL5LIB has been set. Is this a variable that is manually set based on test server? What can I do as a module author to ensure that test suites with an external script can exec correctly?

Ton

p.s. Thanks for a great infrastructure!
