Re: Test::Harness not working on my machine

Which version of Test::Harness?

I haven't installed perl under "C:\Program Files" in over 2 years, but I recall this issue being resolved for a while now.

Get the latest Test::Harness, and report back please.

update: Holy schnikes man!!!! 1.1604 is quite ancient (that's the version that shipped). The latest is 2.26. Get it now ;D!

Get the latest Test::Harness, and report back please. Version 2.26 has the same problem. It's much more complex and split across multiple files now, but after some digging, I find: `open(FILE, "$cmd $switches $file\|")` [download] I modified line 273 of Test::Harness::Straps.pm to read `my $cmd = $self->{_is_vms} ? "MCR $^X" : ( $^O eq 'MSWin32' ? Win3 +2::GetShortPathName($^X) : $^X);` [download] to add a case for Windows. Now it works again. —John	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If you've not done so already, drop a bug-report and/or a failing test and patch to schwern (e-mail would probably be best - he doesn't seem to be a perlmonks regular :-) In my experience he appreciates patches!	[reply]

After I read your post, I started downloading the last Perl 5.6.1 issued by ActiveState. It was taking its sweet time... Looks like the file date of the new one is September 2001, `$VERSION = "1.1604";`. It has the same use of the variables posted earlier. Well, to get 2.26... Hmm, "None of the range-specifier values in the Range request-header field overlap the current extent of the selected resource. > Apache/2.0.43 Server at search.cpan.org Port 80 Download from CPAN.org instead, Well, it's own "nmake test" for Test::Harness gives me a whole bunch of `t\callback.........'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,`, which sure looks like the same issue. Back to my directory, same problem: it cuts off the Perl interpreter name at the first space. —John	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It's the one that came with ActiveState build 630, shipped Oct 31 2001.	[reply]
