Would you please excuse my ignorance, but how to you run tests under MacPerl? After whole afternoon fiddling with BasiliskII and MacOS 8.1 I still can't find a way to test module. I managed to write perl script under Mac and run it, but I couldn't start Makefile.PL and MacPerl's help viewer won't start on my installation. > You might want to consider using File::Spec for specifying paths to I'll do that. > files, especially for tests.

I ran into odd problems when I tried this using the It also works fine on my Linux box, and from reading File::Spec documentation it should OS2, Win32 and VMS which is a good thing :-) > earlier IsisDB module (when I moved the tests to different > directories/hard drive partitions, results differed, weird things > happened).

I'm afraid that first version of IsisDB was so big-ending POSIX specific that we should better forget that it ever existed. > I also had to comment out "use blib", which doesn't exist, since > MacPerl has problems with Makefile.PL files (and Build.PL > files)--installation and testing generally needs to be done manually, > in my limited experience.

I'll try to add conditional use blib, but I would first need to make my MacPerl running. > Test 2 report: Those md5 differences might not be fatal. I guess that testing MD5 sum of generated data isn't the best way to test correctness of output on platforms other than POSIX-like ones. Could you please try to re-run test 2 with -d flag (or by setting $debug veritable to 1). It will generate much more output, so you might want to e-mail it directly to me so we don't put unnecessary traffic to this list. -- Dobrica Pavlinusic 2share!2flame [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix addict.
