I used cpanm to reinstall Test::TCP and now testdeps sees it.  I'm 
almost certain that there's only 1 perl on this system; it's a 
nearly-new RHEL-6 install (I'm the one who built it).  Other than apache 
and RT, nothing else has been installed.  How would I determine if there 
are multiple perls installed?

I put selinux into permissive (it was set to enforcing), then removed 
and reinstalled Server::Starter (using cpanm) with the same results.  Is 
this error being thrown by a Server::Starter issue or is it from 
whatever process is trying to write the compiled module to disk?

I ran the following manually:
[root at bogus Server-Starter-0.11]# perl Makefile.PL
[root at bogus Server-Starter-0.11]# make
[root at bogus Server-Starter-0.11]# make install
[root at bogus Server-Starter-0.11]# make test
   (stuff removed for brevity)
   All tests successful.
   Files=4, Tests=42, 28 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr  0.00 sys +  0.39 
cusr  0.08 csys =  0.49 CPU)
   Result: PASS


So it looks like Server::Starter installed Ok.

So then I run cpan-t Server::Starter and get the same errors as before., 
including
- Test::TCP       ...missing. (would need 0.11)

Running testdeps doesn't flag Test::TCP

Running cpan -t Test::TCP results in:
Result: PASS
   TOKUHIROM/Test-TCP-1.13.tar.gz
   /usr/bin/make test -- OK


So I'm baffled.
1. make testdeps says that all dependencies are found
2. cpan -t Server::Starter says that Test::TCP is missing and throws 
flock() and bad file descriptor errors at line 104 of 
share/perl5/Test/SharedFork/Store.pm
3. cpan -t Test::TCP says it's installed and good
4. cpanm --reinstall Server::Starter says it's installed and good
5. cpanm --reinstall Plack::Handler::Starlet says it's installed and good

Should I believe testdeps and continue with RT installation?  Os is this 
something that might bite me in the caboose?

Thanks,
Gene
