When run `make test` with perl 5.005_03 with a Makefile.PL generated makefile I find that perl can't load the B module. When I run the same test manually (perl -Mblib t/03b.t) it loads and works correctly. The Makefile.PL was generated by perl 5.8.2 but is otherwise unremarkable. Here is the Makefile.PL, the error and t/03b.t. The test code was the minimal case and not my actual tests (see t/01basic.t and t/02self.t for the actual (yet still failing tests)).

From super search I tried running `make test` as `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/perl5.005_3/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux/auto/B make test`. On attempting `LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD:~/perl5.005_3/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux/auto/B/B.so make test` I received the error make: relocation error: /home/josh/perl5.005_3/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux/auto/B/B.so: undefined symbol: PL_main_root. I talked to theorbtwo in the chatterbox and he suggested I make sure the right binary is being run. It is. When I examine %ENV it correctly reflects my environment (it shows LD_LIBRARY when I set it and doesn't when I don't). There are no LD_anything values in my environment.

What should I do next? My perl install is fresh and B loads normally when Test::Harness isn't involved. I did install List::Util using CPAN.pm prior to running these tests.

The failing test code:

#BEGIN { warn "TEST: \$^X: \"$^X\" \$0: \"$0\" \$]: \"$]\" \@INC: \"@I
+NC\"\n";
#    for ( sort keys %ENV ) {
#    warn "ENV $_=$ENV{$_}\n";
#} }
use Test;
BEGIN { plan tests => 1 };
use B;
ok(1);
