Re: Re: Makefile.PL even weirder on Windows

You both are saying that the source project has various subdirectories, rather than the few files I have in one directory?

I read about the testing tutorial and the module, but it didn't give the format of the expected output. But really the issue is that the auto-testing looks in a particular subdirectory. Or, you're saying that the file named "test.pl", rather than "test$_.perl" foreach (1..$n); will be seen but the output not automatically processed? Doesn't it (MM or CPAN) care about the exit code?!

The answer to all your questions is "yes". Seriously. If you have a file named ./test.pl, it will be run, and the results ignored by the Makefile (IIRC, of course -- read the disclaimer) (MM doesn't actualy run anything, it only writes a makefile. CPAN only runs the makefile). If there is a ./t/ subdirectory, it will be run via Test::Harness. See it's POD for details of the output format, or just use it's runtime functions (ok, ok_if, etc).
