Part of the problem is that I didn't get any informative error. :( > You haven’t said which tests started failing, so I assume it’s a > library that uses PDL::FFTW3 (Photonic?).

I got the errors when Build-testing the Photonic package. Unfortunately, the only error message I got was that the planned number of tests were not run. I tried 'proving' individually the test programs (i.e., prove t/...; prove -v t/...) but they messages were not much more informative. I tried running the tests directly (perl t/...) but it gave me a segmentation fault. So maybe I can rephrase my question in a more general way: how do you debug test programs (programs that use Test::More) to find out why they fail. Regards, Luis > > Best regards, > Ed -- o W.
