NAME
perlivp - Perl Installation Verification Procedure
SYNOPSIS
perlivp [-a] [-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.
-a run all tests
Normally tests for optional features are skipped. With
-a all tests are executed.
-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
o print "# Perl binary `$perlpath' does not appear
executable.\n";
Likely to occur for a perl binary that was not properly
installed. Correct by conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Perl version `$]' installed, expected
$ivp_VERSION.\n";
Likely to occur for a perl that was not properly
installed. Correct by conducting a proper installation.

o print "# Perl \@INC directory `$_' does not appear to
exist.\n";
Likely to occur for a perl library tree that was not
properly installed. Correct by conducting a proper
installation.
o print "# Needed module `$_' 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.
o print "# Required module `$_' does not appear to be
properly installed.\n";
An attempt to "eval "require $module"" failed, even
though the list of extensions indicated that it should
succeed. Correct by conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Unnecessary module `bLuRfle' appears to be
installed.\n";
This test not coming out ok could indicate that you have
in fact installed a bLuRfle.pm module or that the "eval
" require \"$module_name.pm\"; "" test may give
misleading results with your installation of perl. If
yours is the latter case then please let the author
know.
o print "# file",+($#missing == 0) ? '' : 's'," missing
from installation:\n";
One or more files turned up missing according to a run
of "ExtUtils::Installed -> validate()" over your
installation. Correct by conducting a proper
installation.
o print "# Perl header `$_' does not appear to be properly
installed.\n";
Correct by running h2ph over your system's C header
files. If necessary, edit the resulting *.ph files to
eliminate perl syntax errors.
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.
