[MOBY-dev] Perl BioMoby install

[Pieter Neerincx]

Hi,

I upgraded my Perl BioMoby install yesterday and noticed two minor  
problems:

1. Failed test t/MOBY:

t/MOBY........................
#   Failed test 'use MOBY;'
#   in t/MOBY.t at line 9.
#     Tried to use 'MOBY'.
#     Error:  Can't locate MOBY.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
.....<cut>.....
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/MOBY.t line 9.
t/MOBY........................NOK 1/1# Looks like you failed 1 test of  
1.
t/MOBY........................dubious
         Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
DIED. FAILED test 1
         Failed 1/1 tests, 0.00% okay


This test doesn't seem to be very useful. All it does is try a "use  
MOBY;", which fails as MOBY.pm doesn't exist and as far is I know  
shouldn't exist. Can I remove this test from the CVS tree or did I  
miss something and is the test correctly reporting a failure  
indicating a problem?

2. Perl module version number fishiness:

-----------------------------------------
So far so good. It only complains about WSRF::Lite. I have version  
0.8.2.2 installed, but this module doesn't report a version number and  
therefore the dependency check fails. But now it continues:

-----------------------------------------

Checking if your kit is complete...

Looks good

Warning: prerequisite IO::Prompt 0.99.2 not found. We have 0.099004.
Warning: prerequisite LS 1.1.7 not found. We have 1.001007.
Warning: prerequisite WSRF::Lite 0.008.2.2 not found. We have unknown  
version.

-----------------------------------------

This is weird. First it finds LS and IO::Prompt and detects the  
version numbers correctly, but apparently it checks them slightly  
differently now and fails to notice the versions I have are just fine...

Cheers,

Pi
