I don't get that. I get something similar if I run "b" twice without
running "a" in between
ok 1 - symlink to test_dir created
Use of uninitialized value $abs_path in concatenation (.) or string at
b.plline 21.
# abs_path:
linktest: No such file or directory at b.pl line 22.
1..1
# Looks like your test exited with 255 just after 1.
But if I execute the commands you executed in the order you said you did, I
get:
ok 1 - symlink to test_dir created
# abs_path: /home/ikegami/projects/perl/_ptrslt_/_path_/_to_/_a_/_dir_
ok 2 - Cwd::abs_path matches File::Spec->rel2abs
ok 3 - Cwd::fast_abs_path matches File::Spec->rel2abs
not ok 4 - Cwd::_perl_abs_path matches File::Spec->rel2abs
# Failed test 'Cwd::_perl_abs_path matches File::Spec->rel2abs'
# at b.pl line 31.
# '/home/ikegami/projects/perl/linktest'
# doesn't match
'(?^i:\/home\/ikegami\/projects\/perl\/_ptrslt_\/_path_\/_to_\/_a_\/_dir_$)'
1..4
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 4.
Brian's first patch ("Skip _perl_abs_path() tests when they will fail with
no ill effects") does address the problem I reported, and in an acceptable
manner.
I don't have time to look at his alternate/second patch right now.
