perlivp - Perl Installation Verification Procedure

perlivp [-p] [-v] [-h]

The perlivp program is set up at Perl source code build time to test the Perl version it was built under. It can be used after running:

    make install

(or your platform's equivalent procedure) to verify that perl and its libraries have been installed correctly. A correct installation is verified by output that looks like:

    ok 1
    ok 2

etc.

Prints out a brief help message.
Gives a description of each test prior to performing it.
Gives more detailed information about each test, after it has been performed. Note that any failed tests ought to print out some extra information whether or not -v is thrown.

For further information on how to conduct a proper installation consult the INSTALL file that comes with the perl source and the README file for your platform.
