NAME

6       perlivp - Perl Installation Verification Procedure
7

SYNOPSIS

9       perlivp [-p] [-v] [-h]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The perlivp program is set up at Perl source code build time to test
13       the Perl version it was built under.  It can be used after running:
14
15           make install
16
17       (or your platform's equivalent procedure) to verify that perl and its
18       libraries have been installed correctly.  A correct installation is
19       verified by output that looks like:
20
21           ok 1
22           ok 2
23
24       etc.
25

OPTIONS

27       -h help
28            Prints out a brief help message.
29
30       -p print preface
31            Gives a description of each test prior to performing it.
32
33       -v verbose
34            Gives more detailed information about each test, after it has been
35            performed.  Note that any failed tests ought to print out some
36            extra information whether or not -v is thrown.

DIAGNOSTICS

39       ·   print "# Perl binary '$perlpath' does not appear executable.\n";
40
41           Likely to occur for a perl binary that was not properly installed.
42           Correct by conducting a proper installation.
43
44       ·   print "# Perl version '$]' installed, expected $ivp_VERSION.\n";
45
46           Likely to occur for a perl that was not properly installed.
47           Correct by conducting a proper installation.
48
49       ·   print "# Perl \@INC directory '$_' does not appear to exist.\n";
50
51           Likely to occur for a perl library tree that was not properly
52           installed.  Correct by conducting a proper installation.
53
54       ·   print "# Needed module '$_' does not appear to be properly
55           installed.\n";
56
57           One of the two modules that is used by perlivp was not present in
58           the installation.  This is a serious error since it adversely
59           affects perlivp's ability to function.  You may be able to correct
60           this by performing a proper perl installation.
61
62       ·   print "# Required module '$_' does not appear to be properly
63           installed.\n";
64
65           An attempt to "eval "require $module"" failed, even though the list
66           of extensions indicated that it should succeed.  Correct by
67           conducting a proper installation.
68
69       ·   print "# Unnecessary module 'bLuRfle' appears to be installed.\n";
70
71           This test not coming out ok could indicate that you have in fact
72           installed a bLuRfle.pm module or that the "eval " require
73           \"$module_name.pm\"; "" test may give misleading results with your
74           installation of perl.  If yours is the latter case then please let
75           the author know.
76
77       ·   print "# file",+($#missing == 0) ? '' : 's'," missing from
78           installation:\n";
79
80           One or more files turned up missing according to a run of
81           "ExtUtils::Installed -> validate()" over your installation.
82           Correct by conducting a proper installation.
83
84       For further information on how to conduct a proper installation consult
85       the INSTALL file that comes with the perl source and the README file
86       for your platform.
