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

       * print "# Perl binary `$perlpath' does not appear executable.
";
	   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.
";
	   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.
";
	   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.
";
	   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.
";
	   An attempt to "eval "require $module"" failed, even though the list of extensions indicated that it should succeed.	Correct by con-
	   ducting a proper installation.

       * print "# Unnecessary module `bLuRfle' appears to be installed.
";
	   This test not coming out ok could indicate that you have in fact installed a bLuRfle.pm module or that the "eval " require "$mod-
	   ule_name.pm"; "" test may give misleading results with your installation of perl.  If yours is the latter case then please let the
	   author know.

       * print "# file",+($#missing == 0) ? '' : 's'," missing from installation:
";
	   One or more files turned up missing according to a run of "ExtUtils::Installed -> validate()" over your installation.  Correct by con-
	   ducting a proper installation.

       * print "# Perl header `$_' does not appear to be properly installed.
";
	   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.
