NAME

perlivp - Perl Installation Verification Procedure

SYNOPSIS

perlivp [-p] [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

The perlivp program is set up at Perl source code build time to test thePerl version it was built under. It can be used after running:

 make install
 

(or your platform's equivalent procedure) to verify that perl and itslibraries have been installed correctly. A correct installation is verifiedby output that looks like:

 ok 1
 
 ok 2
 

etc.

OPTIONS

• -h help

  Prints out a brief help message.

• -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 whetheror not -v is thrown.

DIAGNOSTICS

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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'sability to function. You may be able to correct this by performing aproper perl installation.

• 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.

• 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 yoursis the latter case then please let the author know.

• 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.

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.
