in reply to ExtUtils Constant Fails During make test

What tests are failing? What do you get when you run make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 TEST_FILES=t/[failing test].t? You need to give us more info.

As for the install being successful ... it all depends on the error.

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

    Streange as it may sound, I downloaded the ExtUtils:Constant 0.16 version, compiled, and tested without a hitch. But the version that ships with Perl 5.8.6 source code errors out. The make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 TEST_FILES=lib/ExtUtils/t/Constant.t does not work when building perl. It will just run all the tests. If there is another option that I can use to get more detail I would love to use it and determine what is going wrong during the main perl compile make test.
