I'm talking about t9500-gitweb-standalone-no-errors. Anyway, if you don't have that, the test fails at everything, and it does so without any clues about _why_ it fails. I ended up figuring it out by doing a "strace -f" to see what seems to be wrong. Maybe that test could have some additional check for "is perl::CGI installed at all" and at least give a useful error message rather than just saying it failed? Linus
