Not really. If TEST=2, there are additional checks of reference count of Perl objects, you probably do not have the modules needed by that. It is not important, the bugs that can be found like that are not important bugs and probably not platform dependent. So TEST=1 is ok, and should not interfere with this test. Maybe something that could be done easily to check the file name used for the Info file would be to call texi2any.pl with --verbose, so like: /d/usr/Perl/bin/perl -w ./..//perl/texi2any.pl --force --conf-dir ./../perl/t/init/ --conf-dir ./../perl/init --conf-dir ./../perl/ext -I ./formatting -I formatting/ -I ./ -I . -I built_input -I built_input/non_ascii --error-limit=1000 -c TEST=1 --verbose --output formatting/out_parser/reuse_macro_expand_file/ --macro-expand=formatting/out_parser/reuse_macro_expand_file/simplest.info ./formatting/simplest.texi In my case, I get this information: Output file formatting/out_parser/reuse_macro_expand_file/simplest.info If it is not the same, it could explain why there is no 'overwriting file' warning. -- Pat
