[Bioperl-l] make test fails solaris 8 on "test_dynamic"

[Sciencelife@aol.com]

perl Makefile.PL ok
"make" ok

have gcc enviroment & utils preceeding path of
Sun C/C++ compilers.  Environment works well
for perl module compilation from cpan.

2 questions:

How must bioperl environment be set differently from
standard gcc ver. 3.03 & binutils2.11.2 environment?
This environ works well for cpan module compilation.

How can user/passwd be set or passed to "make test" to
circumvent inside proxy which prompts to authenticate
for URLs beyond firewall?  "make test" gives no allowance for the prompt & fails attempting
to visit external sites.

Thanks for assistance.
