Hi Mark,

The correct way to handle this is to skip all the t/10-parl-generation
tests if installing using the downloadable PAR dist.
I agree. At first, I thought this would be really simple and was going
to do just that. However, the tricky part is to determine during "make
test" whether the pre-built .par was used or not. I got this far:
1) During Makefile.PL modify the Makefile that's written out so
2) the Makefile sets an environment variable (If that's possible in a
portable way!)
3) which can be tested against by the test script.
The tricky bit is that Module::Install is such a weird beast that I
can't figure out how to modify the Makefile from Makefile.PL. I'd rather
not add a PAR::Packer local M::I subclass to inc/ because I'd most
certainly delete it by accident before doing a release... And it seems
overkill anyway.
Another route might be to test for some file's existence in the test
script, but that seems even worse.
Better ideas?
Cheers,
Steffen
