Subject: figuring out the t/TEST invocation arguments on windows
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

In Apache::TestSmoke we use t/TEST to start the test suite, however this 
doesn't work in windows, where one has to start the program via nmake
or making the program a .bat file (pl2pbat)

Alessandro Forghieri doesn't seem to make it working because of this. 
I've suggested to use:

   use Config;
   $cur_perl_path = (-x $^X) ? $^X : $Config{perlpath};

and then start t/TEST with:

   $cur_perl_path t/TEST

but then Alessandro says it does not work the same as running via nmake. 
Can somebody help us here to make it work properly crossplatform?

I tested this:

    use Config;
     my $cur_perl_path=(-x $^X) ? $^X : $Config{perlpath};
     $self->{base_command}    = "$cur_perl_path t/TEST"; #ALF

and it appears to work... however:

while

D:\builds\modperl-2.0> perl t\TEST

behaves differently than nmake test (that uses -Mblib).
Specifically while nmake test (old CVS snapshot: I am downloading the 
new one right now) exhibits the crash that started this thread, 'perl 
t\TEST' hangs at
conftree.

Note that I am running in compatibility mode (Apache2) so I am wondering 
if this may be determining the difference in behavior.
