I've implemented a set of TAP/Test::More-based tests here: https://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/quad-pres/quad-pres/trunk/installer You can copy the appropriate code from the GNU Autotools-based setup. Just note that I'm planning on switching away from GNU-Autotools to a different installer (such as Module-Build or CMake) because I don't like GNU-Autotools much. > > Important features are: > 1. minimum end-user requirements (preferably - will not require them to > install modules with CPAN) Maybe you can bundle IPC::Run3 (like Gaal has suggested) or Test::Trap. > 2.
