[WM] Installing EtText on Windows 95

[Brian Hulse]

I just found WebMake, and it sounds interesting. I was hoping to 
make all my documents on my Win9x client, and then FTP to the shared 
Webhost I get from my service provider.

1. I downloaded perl 5.6.1 build 629 from ActiveState and installed it.

2. Downloaded Text-EtText-2.2.zip and extracted all files to E:\ 
with paths.

3. Changed to the new top-level dir and ran "perl windows_install.pl"

4. Here is my maketest command and output:
    E:\Text-EtText-2.2>perl -x -S "maketest"
    t/basiclist.........

Perl appears to hang at this point. Any thoughts as to what I am 
doing wrong? I also tried using the Nmake utility renamed to make.
. here is the output:

E:\Text-EtText-2.2>make test

Finally, I tried stepping through using the debugger, and here are 
the last few lines:

Test::Harness::runtests(E:/Perl/lib/Test/Harness.pm:108):
108:                    $max = $1;
  DB<2>
Test::Harness::runtests(E:/Perl/lib/Test/Harness.pm:109):
109:                    $totmax += $max;
  DB<2>
Test::Harness::runtests(E:/Perl/lib/Test/Harness.pm:110):
110:                    $files++;
  DB<2>
Test::Harness::runtests(E:/Perl/lib/Test/Harness.pm:111):
111:                    $next = 1;
  DB<2>
Test::Harness::runtests(E:/Perl/lib/Test/Harness.pm:112):
112:                    $skip_reason = $3 if not $max and defined $3;
  DB<2>



Any thoughts on why this is failing?
