Re: [mv] [mv 4.02] - make test fails

Okay...I don't understand, if the message about perllocal.pod is benign, 
how come the install did not complete?  The directory was not created or 
populated, even though the terminal window echoed that a bunch of files 
were being installed.  It's not there. Is it because 2/6 'make test' 
failed?  Did the installer script make a note somewhere not to complete the 
install because of this?

I guess I should rephrase the my question, to whomever may have an answer 
and is willing to take the time to reply: what specifically do I need to do 
from this point forward to get Minivend 4.02 installed?  My client pays for 
their server space by the megabyte and my time by the hour, so I would like 
to hear one other solution besides building their own instance of Perl, if 
anybody has one :-)
