I decided to update my
DateTime::Calendar::Discordian but the CPAN Testers are reporting lots of failures with the new version like e.g. this:
t/04-perl-critic.....................Can't locate Test/Perl/Critic.pm

...on lots of different perl versions and OS's.
The failing test looks like this:
use strict;
use warnings;
use English qw(-no_match_vars);
use Test::More;
if ( not $ENV{TEST_AUTHOR} ) {
my $msg = 'Author test. Set $ENV{TEST_AUTHOR} to a true value to
+run.';
plan( skip_all => $msg );
}
eval { use Test::Perl::Critic (-profile => 't/perlcriticrc'); };
if ( $EVAL_ERROR ) {
my $msg = 'Test::Perl::Critic required to criticise code';
plan( skip_all => $msg );
}
all_critic_ok()
What gives? The eval should catch if Test::Perl::Critic is not installed right?
I am using a similar idiom for tests using Test::Pod and Test::Pod::Coverage and they aren't causing problems.
