<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Anyone knbow of a way to run the test
suites which come with CPAN modules without access to the internet, make
or a c compiler ?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am trying to get a recent version
of perl (5.8.8) installed on production machines which exist in a highly
restricted environment.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I can instll the modules directly on
production because I am not allowed to have any development tools available.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">So, I build perl with all the modules
I want on a development box (400 in all), tar the installation up and get
the tarball into production and untar it there.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The problem is that the procedures require
me to run tests on all of the modules I've introduced on the production
box where make and gcc don't exist.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Ideally, I'd like to use the test suites
that come with each module but I can't use "make test" without
make.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There is "prove" , but not
all of the module distributions have a "t" subdirectory - they
have a test.pl script instead.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've played with the CPAN module but
I can't find a way to use it without access to make.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Any idea anyone ?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Cheers</font>
