SYNOPSIS
perlivp [-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.
-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
· print "# Perl binary `$perlpath' does not appear exe
cutable.\n";
Likely to occur for a perl binary that was not prop
erly installed. Correct by conducting a proper
installation.
· print "# Perl version `$]' installed, expected $ivp_VER
SION.\n";
Likely to occur for a perl that was not properly
installed. Correct by conducting a proper installa
tion.
· print "# Perl \@INC directory `$_' 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 "# 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 \"$module_name.pm\"; "" test may give
misleading results with your installation of perl. If
yours is the latter case then please let the author
know.
· print "# file",+($#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 instal
lation.
· 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 instal
lation consult the INSTALL file that comes with the perl
source and the README file for your platform.
