PERLIVP(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide PERLIVP(1) NAME perlivp - Perl Installation Verification Procedure SYNOPSIS perlivp [-p] [-v] [-h] DESCRIPTION The perlivp program is set up at Perl source code build time to test the Perl version it was built under. It can be used after running: make install (or your platform's equivalent procedure) to verify that perl and its libraries have been installed correctly. A correct installation is verified by output that looks like: ok 1 ok 2 etc. OPTIONS -h help Prints out a brief help message. -p print preface Gives a description of each test prior to performing it. -v verbose Gives more detailed information about each test, after it has been performed. Note that any failed tests ought to print out some extra information whether or not -v is thrown. DIAGNOSTICS · print "# Perl binary '$perlpath' does not appear executable.\n"; Likely to occur for a perl binary that was not properly installed. Correct by conducting a proper installation. · print "# Perl version '$]' installed, expected $ivp_VERSION.\n"; Likely to occur for a perl that was not properly installed. Correct by conducting a proper installation. · print "# Perl \@INC directory '$_' does not appear to exist.\n"; Likely to occur for a perl library tree that was not properly installed. Correct by conducting a proper installation. · print "# Needed module '$_' does not appear to be properly installed.\n"; One of the two modules that is used by perlivp was not present in the installation. This is a serious error since it adversely affects perlivp's ability to function. You may be able to correct this by performing a proper perl installation. · print "# Required module '$_' does not appear to be properly installed.\n"; An attempt to "eval "require $module"" failed, even though the list of extensions indicated that it should succeed. Correct by conducting a proper installation. For further information on how to conduct a proper installation consult the INSTALL file that comes with the perl source and the README file for your platform.
