Hello,
I am trying to debug t/20-pp.t on WindowsXP, Perl 5.8.8,
PAR-Packer-0.970, in a directory that purposely has a space in the fully
qualified path name.
Test t/20-ppt is failing.
I went into t/20-pp.t and commented out "#do "automated_pp_test.pl";"
for brevity. I then added the print statement shown immediately below
the commented out line, as pasted below.
-------------------------------paste code
#do "automated_pp_test.pl";
print STDERR "\nSkipped the entire automated_pp_test.pl\n";
------------------------------end paste code
I then did "nmake test". The last number of lines of output are pasted
below.
------------------paste results
t/10-parl-generation....ok
t/20-pp.................Set up gcc environment - 3.4.2 (mingw-special)
Skipped the entire automated_pp_test.pl

I do not understand all of the perl mechanisms used in t/20-ppt so I am
here going to just shell out and ask for help on this.
Can someone pick out what might be wrong?
Thanks
