in reply to Perl 5.8.8 installation issue, Cwd test hanging, solaris 2.9

Yet even simpler,
/app/ollie/downloads/perl-5.8.8 > cd t /app/ollie/downloads/perl-5.8.8/t > ./TEST ../ext/Cwd/t/cwd.t
But that is not the question at hand. Why does it hang in Slowaris?
One thing I don't like is the /webfiles/localmods. If that is AFS, NFS, or Samba share, there might be some trouble ahead.
First try to run with $PERL5LIB unset. It is NOT a good idea to run the CORE test with $PERL5LIB set to something outside of the core.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

    Thanks for your suggestion, I'll see what I can do along those lines. While /webfiles/localmods is my $PERL5LIB, I've also compiled it as an extra @INC directory during configuration. I'll try recompiling without it and see if that changes anything.

    Update: For the record, that didn't change anything.

    It's all fine and dandy until someone has to look at the code.
