NAME
perlivp - Perl Installation Verification Procedure
SYNOPSIS
perlivp [-a] [-p] [-v] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The perlivp 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:
make install
(or your platform's equivalent procedure) to verify that perl and its libraries have been
installed correctly. A correct installation is verified by output that looks like:
ok 1
ok 2
etc.
OPTIONS
-h help
Prints out a brief help message.
-a run all tests
Normally tests for optional features are skipped. With -a all tests are executed.
-p print preface
Gives a description of each test prior to performing it.
-v verbose
Gives more detailed information about each test, after it has been performed. Note
that any failed tests ought to print out some extra information whether or not -v is
thrown.
DIAGNOSTICS
o print "# Perl binary `$perlpath' does not appear executable.\n";
Likely to occur for a perl binary that was not properly installed. Correct by
conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Perl version `$]' installed, expected $ivp_VERSION.\n";
Likely to occur for a perl that was not properly installed. Correct by conducting a
proper installation.
o print "# Perl \@INC directory `$_' does not appear to exist.\n";
Likely to occur for a perl library tree that was not properly installed. Correct by
conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Needed module `$_' does not appear to be properly installed.\n";
One of the two modules that is used by perlivp was not present in the installation.
This is a serious error since it adversely affects perlivp's ability to function. You
may be able to correct this by performing a proper perl installation.
o print "# Required module `$_' does not appear to be properly installed.\n";
An attempt to "eval "require $module"" failed, even though the list of extensions
indicated that it should succeed. Correct by conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Unnecessary module `bLuRfle' appears to be installed.\n";
This test not coming out ok could indicate that you have in fact installed a
bLuRfle.pm module or that the "eval " require \"$module_name.pm\"; "" test may give
misleading results with your installation of perl. If yours is the latter case then
please let the author know.
o print "# file",+($#missing == 0) ? '' : 's'," missing from installation:\n";
One or more files turned up missing according to a run of "ExtUtils::Installed ->
validate()" over your installation. Correct by conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Perl header `$_' does not appear to be properly installed.\n";
Correct by running h2ph over your system's C header files. If necessary, edit the
resulting *.ph files to eliminate perl syntax errors.
For further information on how to conduct a proper installation consult the INSTALL file
that comes with the perl source and the README file for your platform.
