<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The <B>perlivp</B> program is set up at Perl source code build time to test the
|
|
Perl version it was built under. It can be used after running:
|
|
<P>
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
(or your platform's equivalent procedure) to verify that <B>perl</B> and its
|
|
libraries have been installed correctly. A correct installation is verified
|
|
by output that looks like:
|
|

<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the two modules that is used by perlivp was not present in the
|
|
installation. This is a serious error since it adversely affects perlivp's
|
|
ability to function. You may be able to correct this by performing a
|
|
proper perl installation.

|

|
|
print ``# Required module '$_' does not appear to be properly installed.\n'';
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
An attempt to <TT>"eval "require $module""</TT> failed, even though the list of
|
|
extensions indicated that it should succeed. Correct by conducting a proper
|
|
installation.

<DT id="9">•<DD>

|
print ``# Unnecessary module 'bLuRfle' appears to be installed.\n'';
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
This test not coming out ok could indicate that you have in fact installed
|
|
a bLuRfle.pm module or that the <TT>"eval " require \"$module_name.pm\"; ""</TT>
|
|
test may give misleading results with your installation of perl. If yours
|
|
is the latter case then please let the author know.
|

print ``# file'',+($#missing == 0) ? '' : 's',`` missing from installation:\n'';
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
One or more files turned up missing according to a run of
|
|
<TT>"ExtUtils::Installed -> validate()"</TT> over your installation.
|
|
Correct by conducting a proper installation.

For further information on how to conduct a proper installation consult the
