I had two machines on the case at one point. :-) But that can get confusing. > lib/ExtUtils/t/xs fails like so: > > $ perl [-.lib.extutils.t]xs.t > 1..0 # Skip ExtUtils::CBuilder not installed or couldn't find a compiler > %SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort > > If we aren't going to have CBuilder in 5.8.x, maybe xs.t should not > even be in the distribution, though it's curious that C<plan > skip_all> causes a failure exit condition. Yes, strange. On FreeBSD: $ PERL_CORE=1 ./perl lib/ExtUtils/t/xs.t ech1..0 # Skip ExtUtils::CBuilder not installed or couldn't find a compiler $ echo $? 0 What does the VMS equivalent of this 1 liner give? $ ./perl -Ilib -e 'use Test::More; plan skip_all => "Testing"' 1..0 # Skip Testing $ echo $? 0 I thought that it was being tested: lib/Test/Simple/t/plan_skip_all.t lib/Test/Simple/t/skipall.t > eu_command.t passes when run outside of the test suite.

I'll look them up and see what they are. Thanks. Nicholas Clark
