Re: So much for Test::* :)

Just a guess... but maybe the shell is expected to expand the * wildcards?

Update: ...apparently not, as ExtUtils::Command::MM::test_harness() has

                                                                      
+                
# Because Windows doesn't do this for us and listing all the *.t files
# out on the command line can blow over its exec limit.
require ExtUtils::Command;
my @argv = ExtUtils::Command::expand_wildcards(@ARGV);
[download]

which is implemented as

my $wild_regex = $Is_VMS ? '*%' : '*?';
sub expand_wildcards
{
 @ARGV = map(/[$wild_regex]/o ? glob($_) : $_,@ARGV);
}
[download]

No idea why this apparently doesn't work for you.

maybe the shell is expected to expand the wildcards?* Well yes. But isn't one of the primary reasons for Perl's existance, Mr.Wall's frustration with clunky shell syntax? And isn't the reason for having EU::MM et al. to take care of these kinds of platform differences? I should have been less terse. I was hoping for a clue as to how to go about fixing up the makefile.pl to get beyond the problem? If it helps, I've bypassed it for now by c&ping the command line issued and prefixing it: c:\Perl\packages\Test-Simple-0.84> C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -e"BEGIN{@ARGV=map{glob}@ARGV}" ###### I added this ####### "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib\lib', 'blib\arch')" t/.t t//*.t t/00test_harness_check..........ok t/bad_plan......................ok t/bail_out......................ok ... t/Tester/tbt_07args.............ok t/thread_taint..................ok t/threads.......................ok t/todo..........................ok t/undef.........................ok t/use_ok........................ok t/useing........................ok t/utf8..........................skipped all skipped: Not yet implemented All tests successful, 4 tests and 13 subtests skipped. Files=79, Tests=594, 7 wallclock secs ( 0.00 cusr + 0.00 csys = 0.0 +0 CPU) [download] which works okay, but I'd prefer a more permanent solution. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. "Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."	[reply] [d/l]

Is there any spaces in the path of the build dir?	[reply]


Do you know where your variables are?
