Re^7: CPAN newbie troubles

I quote again,

Just as irrelevant as the first time around. That's not the same output that you get from Windows.

But you're right that I was wrong. While the first test is failing on Windows,

#   Failed test 'use Term::Menu::Hierarchical;'
#   at t/Term-Menu-Hierarchical.t line 9.
#     Tried to use 'Term::Menu::Hierarchical'.
#     Error:  POSIX::termios not implemented on this architecture at C
+:\strawberry\cpan\build\Term-Menu-Hierarchical-0.70-huc0DH\blib\lib/T
+erm/Menu/Hierarchical.pm line 18.
# Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 2.
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 4) line 2.

it's not preventing the BAIL_OUT from being executed. I'm so used to "BEGIN failed--compilation aborted" to being the end of the error chain. But it does continue on with

#   Failed test at t/Term-Menu-Hierarchical.t line 17.
Bailout called.  Further testing stopped:  OS unsupported
FAILED--Further testing stopped: OS unsupported
dmake.EXE:  Error code 255, while making 'test_dynamic'

So BAIL_OUT is working as intended. So why are you getting FAIL reports? Well, you're not. You're getting N/A reports.

So why are you getting FAIL reports? Well, you're not. You're getting N/A reports. Ah. That is useful - because I never received that particular email; the last one I got was still a FAIL rather than an NA (which is what I would have expected.) This does indeed handle my question (although now I need to go find out where that email went.) Thanks for doing the research; I hadn't realized that the info was available on the Web. That'll make troubleshooting this kind of problems a bit easier in the future. -- Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. -- W. B. Yeats	[reply]

Could it be that N/A reports aren't mailed? After all, you already know the OS isn't supported, so why would you want to be told?	[reply]
