well, that finally answers the question.
i upgraded to 5.8.2 (i think that's the minor version number .. don't
recall), and that "magickally" fixed everything.
i was running 5.6.1 at the time.

ENV problems with testing
I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, but I'm at the end of my
rope here.
I've been working with the ExtUtils::ModuleMaker author with some
beta-testing of new releases.
(part of `uname -a`)
FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE
( relevant perl -v )
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i386-freebsd
I've just run the basics ...
> perl Makefile.pl
> make test VERBOSE=>1
But, some of the test fail because the previously installed version of
EU::MM ends up being used in the tests, and not the version in my local
dir (that I'm trying to test)
Example failure output:
# Looks like your test died just after 63.
Can't use string ("Hilton Stallone") as a HASH ref while "strict refs"
in use at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/ExtUtils/ModuleMaker.pm
line 470.
Where the version I'm *trying* to test is in:
/opt/source/perl/ExtUtils-ModuleMaker-0.39_10
(I did post to perlmonks.org looking for advice, but adding -Mblib and
running the individual tests yields the same problems. I've dumped out
@INC, and the first directory (even when passing in blib ) is still
site_perl/5.6.1 and not something form /opt/source )
I'm completely stuck on what would need fixed on my server.
Thanks in advance,
--brian

introduction
I remember seeing that the list-joining thingie mentioned an introduction once someone joined, so here it is: I'm geektron on perlmonks, and Brian Clarkson IRL. I've talked a bit to Mr. Lester and Mr. Kinyon about tests, and decided that learning some good testing skills while doing something useful added up to joining this list and the Phalanx project. I'm not sure where to start other than this. So "hi" and stuff. Brian
