The test script at the bottom, is part of a soon to be released update to
IO::Pager, once I can solve this problem. The tests behave as expected when invoked from the command line, but fail when invoked via make test or the equivalent command that invokes:
% perl -Mblib t/9-open.t
ok 1 - PAGER undefined since find_pager()
ok 2 - Could not create pipe
1..2
% perl -MExtUtils::Command::MM -e "test_harness (1, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch' ) " t/9-open.t #-w gives no insight either
t/9-open.t ..
not ok 1 - PAGER undefined since find_pager()
# Failed test 'PAGER undefined since find_pager()'
# at t/9-open.t line 10.
# ''
# doesn't match '(?-xism:The PAGER environment variable is not defined)'
not ok 2 - Could not create pipe
# Failed test 'Could not create pipe'
# at t/9-open.t line 14.
# ''
# doesn't match '(?-xism:Could not pipe to PAGER)'
1..2
# Looks like you failed 2 tests of 2.
Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
Failed 2/2 subtests

use t::TestUtils;
use IO::Pager;
undef $ENV{PAGER};
eval{ my $token = new IO::Pager };
like($@, qr/The PAGER environment variable is not defined/, 'PAGER und
+efined since find_pager()');
$ENV{PAGER} = '/dev/null';

like($@, qr/Could not pipe to PAGER/, 'Could not create pipe');

If you want the whole environment to debug, you can access the code at

TIA!
UPDATE: To clarify, these tests are purposefully setting up conditions for object instantiation to fail, and verifying that the expected/documented errors occur. Nothing really happens in the intervening code, other than
seemingly unrelated checks to see if we are connected to a TTY.
