Hi all,

Just trying to understand the instructions on both these packages.  Each
set of instructions explains that we do the following steps in the
following order:
- perl Makefile.PL
- make 
- make test
- make install

Thing is, everything works fine except the make test.  On the initial
pass, if I run "make test" BEFORE I run "make install" about half the
tests (50%) fail.  If I then run "make install" and then RERUN "make
test" I get a 95%+ success rate.  

I guess I'm trying to understand "why" we run the make test prior to
running the make install?

thx in advance,
