Dear Oliver, The author of Catalyst::Plugin::InflateMore has raised concerns on cpan-testers-discuss about this report:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/11/msg2589340.html In particular, his Makefile.PL goes to extreme lengths to avoid being run under automated testing by using the "exit 0" hack to avoid creating a Makefile under a variety of conditions. However, it's clear in the report that nevertheless, a Makefile is found and fails with no "test" rule defined. I don't see how his Makefile.PL could ever have generated a Makefile under CPAN::Reporter::Smoker. And I can't see why the system would find a Makefile otherwise, much less one without the "test" rule. I'm not familiar with the s390x architecture so I'm not sure whether that could somehow be connected. I'd appreciate if you could please investigate manually and see whether this is a bug in CPAN, CPAN::Reporter, CPAN::Reporter::Smoker or somewhere else entirely and let me know what you find. (I've copied cpan-testers-discuss in case others have ideas that might help in the investigation.) Thank you very much. -- David Golden
