Sorry for all of the grammar mistakes before. But to cut to the point, I'd like to request that the smoker program that is kicking off "make test" set an Environment variable for the perl path beforehand.
Looking at report, there is no such environment variable set. From http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/f5f5de74-400c-11e6-937a-cbe75bc2a771 Environment variables: AUTOMATED_TESTING = 1 LANG = en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE = en_US:en PATH = /usr/lib/ccache:/home/sand/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/perl/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin PERL5LIB = PERL5OPT = PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_RUNNING = 13624 PERL5_CPAN_IS_RUNNING = 13624 PERL_CANARY_STABILITY_NOPROMPT = 1 PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT = 1 SHELL = /usr/bin/zsh TERM = screen Perl special variables (and OS-specific diagnostics, for MSWin32): $^X = /home/sand/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.22.1/8d81/bin/perl And if the right perl is: /home/sand/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.22.1/8d81/bin/perl then why not put /home/sand/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.22.1/8d81/bin/ in the PATH variable that is set in the environment that "make test " sees? Where is the project for the smoker code so that I can submit an issue and possibly a pull request? P.S. Grammar typos from the previous email message...
