[perl #47503] Remove config::init::defaults From configure tests

2008-02-26 Thread James Keenan via RT
I've spotted a flaw in the way I revised each of the t/steps/*.t files. Trying to match an exact (true) return value in the 2nd test is too strict; will generate a failure if, after successfully completing configuration, you go back and call 'prove' or 'perl -d' on an individual test. Am working

[perl #51170] [PATCH] Use rm -f instead of rm -rf to remove files

2008-02-26 Thread James Keenan via RT
The patch looks good to me. I applied it on Debian Linux, called 'perl configure.pl --test --configure_trace' -- the last option creates a hidden file in the top-level directory which is cleaned up by 'make realclean', hence providing a real-world test -- then 'make', 'make test' and 'make realcl
