suny has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:


subinoybiswas@sunymacs:~$ perlbrew --notest install perl-5.20.0

Installing /Users/subinoybiswas/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.20.0 into ~/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.20.0

This could take a while. You can run the following command on another shell to track the status:

tail -f ~/perl5/perlbrew/build.perl-5.20.0.log

Installation process failed. To spot any issues, check

/Users/subinoybiswas/perl5/perlbrew/build.perl-5.20.0.log


If some perl tests failed and you still want install this distribution anyway, do:

(cd /Users/subinoybiswas/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.20.0; make install)


You might also want to try upgrading patchperl before trying again:

perlbrew install-patchperl


Generally, if you need to install a perl distribution known to have minor test
failures, do one of these command to avoid seeing this message

perlbrew --notest install perl-5.20.0 perlbrew --force install perl-5.20.0

    So did you read that, and look at /Users/subinoybiswas/perl5/perlbrew/build.perl-5.20.0.log and find the error message (typically near the end of the file)? Could you post it here? (just the error with all relevant info, not the whole file?) Also, why are you using --notest?
