First, I'm not trying to (thoughtlessly) spam PerlMonks by posting my CPAN module build problems here and waiting passively for someone to come save my butt. I'm chronicalling these trials to assist my fellow AIX / Perl users out there. This is such a well-trodden forum, let's hope they're using Super Search!

OK, on to the problem. The 'make test' hangs at the last output listed. 

[root@mybox] /tmp/Lugh/perl_modules/Expect-1.15
# make test
        PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" tes

Basic tests...

Super Search here at PM yeilds nada (2 searches, first = "Expect" "TIOCSCTTY"; second = "Expect" "AIX").

I've posted to the CPAN forum. It looks active, thank goodness.

Have NOT written up a bug report, yet. It doesn't look high traffic, tho.

UPDATE

This has happened on both AIX 52 & 53.

Because one problem system was reinstalled and the problem went away, I think that something in my user shell enviroment is to blame. Still looking...

AIX 52 is having an across-the-board problem with a different module. See node 542347.
