as user curt, during 'make test' it fails and gives:

Failed 1 test out of 1695, 99.94% okay.
        ../cpan/Cwd/t/cwd.t
### Since not all tests were successful, you may want to run some of 
### them individually and examine any diagnostic messages they produce.
### See the INSTALL document's section on "make test".
### You have a good chance to get more information by running
###   ./perl harness
### in the 't' directory since most (>=80%) of the tests succeeded.
### You may have to set your dynamic library search path,
### LD_LIBRARY_PATH, to point to the build directory:
###   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH `pwd`; cd t; ./perl harness
###   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH; cd t; ./perl harness
###   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`; cd t; ./perl harness
### for csh-style shells, like tcsh; or for traditional/modern 
### Bourne-style shells, like bash, ksh, and zsh, respectively.

make: *** [test] Error 1

I ran ./perl harness and several tests were skipped for various reasons, but
it was hard to keep track of everything, I may need to run it again (as user
curt) and look for a log file.

I tried:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH `pwd`
but got:
setenv: command not found

I checked around for a way to 'install' setenv and came up empty.

I also went here perl-5.12.4/cpan/Cwd/t and did:
perl ./cwd.t 

and got this:

opendir(linktest/../../../../../../../../../..): Permission denied at
./cwd.t line 213 not ok 25
#   Failed test at ./cwd.t line 213.
#                   ''
#     doesn't match
'(?i-xsm:\/home\/curt\/perl\-5\.12\.4\/cpan\/Cwd\/t\/_ptrslt_\/_path_\/_to_\
/_a_\/_dir_$)'

ok 32 - abs_path() works on files in the root directory 
ok 33 - fast_abs_path() works on files in the root directory 
ok 34 - _perl_abs_path() works on files in the root directory

and looked up line 213:
like(Cwd::_perl_abs_path($file), qr|$want$|i) if $EXTRA_ABSPATH_TESTS;

I hope that answers your question.


And this is what has heppened since my last email. I tried configuring and
running make and make test as root. You are saying that I WAS doing it
correctly (running make test as curt), so this may all be moot.

# cd perl-5.12.4
# ./Configure -des -Dprefix=/usr/local/perl-5.12.4 
# make 
# make test 
# make install 
# cd /usr/local 
# sudo ln -s perl-5.12.4 perl 

This got me through make test and the install error free. I got through
Text-Query issues and finished the perl install, however, when I do:

/usr/bin/perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

This perl was built by DirectAdmin when they setup my new VPS

however, /usr/local/bin/perl
This is perl, v5.10.0 built for x86_64-linux-v

This is a version I tried as root (which you once questioned my choice of
version), it won't go away, how can I get it out of there? Do I just remove
/usr/local/bin/perl? Again, maybe I should not be doing this as root.

whereis perl
perl: /usr/src/perl-5.12.4/perl.c /usr/src/perl-5.12.4/perl.h
/usr/src/perl-5.12.4/perl.o /usr/src/perl-5.12.4/perl /usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/perl /usr/share/man/man1/perl.1.gz


OK, I am going to take a break for awhile and come back to this later today.
If  you have anything to add please do. 8-)

Many thanks for all your efforts, Peter!
