Hello. I just ran the `make test' for mod_perl 1.23 with Apache 1.3.12, and
I got a single failure in modules/cgi. Here's an individual run with -v:
shell1-root> TEST -v modules/cgi.t
modules/cgi.........module CGI is installed
1..5
ok 1
ok 2
ok 3
ServerError:
CGI open of tmpfile: Permission denied
dump of %@:
/perl/cgi.pl = CGI open of tmpfile: Permission denied
ok 5

-------------------------------------------------------------------------...
modules/cgi.t 5 1 20.00% 4
Failed 1/1 test scripts, 0.00% okay. 1/5 subtests failed, 80.00% okay.
I checked the archive and this was discussed in January of this year with
the subject "Weird message from make test". The only suggestions given in
that thread were to check that the permissions were 1777 on all the tmp
directories. This is the case for me. I do not have a ~/tmp for the root
account (actually I did, but I deleted it and the test still fails).
Nancy Lin, the original poster in that thread, said that she was running
Apache 1.3.9 on Redhat 6.0. I'm running different versions of the software
(listed above) on Solaris/SPARC 2.6. Both of us are running CGI.pm 2.56
(she said the problem went away after downgrading to 2.46).
As she stated, there seems to be a problem with the cgi.t test module, with
CGI.pm, or with the interaction between the two. Hopefully someone involved
with that area of the code can take a look.
I guess I'll go ahead with my installation and hope everything's okay
despite the failure.
