Answering myself here - found out it was the perl binary. For some reason the binary compiled for 64-bit execution would not make this module properly, but the 32-bit does. Go figure.
Someone else is looking into why this might be the case. For now, I'm happy to use the 32-bit version. deb Meanwhile, Deb says: | | Hello, | | I installed perl module Text::Reflow on perl v5.6.1 for Solaris. | | It built fine, but "make test" fails in that it hangs on the | first test. | | cpan> test Text::Reflow | Running test for module Text::Reflow | Running make for M/MW/MWARD/Text-Reflow-1.04.tar.gz | Is already unwrapped into directory /usr/local/cpan/build/Text-Reflow-1.04 | Has already been processed within this session | Running make test | Use of uninitialized value in scalar assignment at |/usr/local/pkg/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/CPAN.pm line 4658. | Use of uninitialized value in hash dereference at |/usr/local/pkg/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/CPAN.pm line 801. | PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/pkg/perl-5.6.1/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib |-I/usr/local/pkg/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/sun4-solaris |-I/usr/local/pkg/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1 test.pl | 1..20 | ok 1 | ^C /usr/ccs/bin/make test -- NOT OK | | | I don't know how to troubleshoot this, and find out wherein lies | the problem.
