NAME

App::TestOnTap::_Args - hidden flags

Commandline options and arguments understood for TestOnTap processing

SYNOPSIS

testontap
   [ --_help ]
   [ --_pp ]

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

All options can be abbreviated, as long as they are unambiguous. Option matching is case sensitive. Forcibly end option parsing using '--'.

This documents some 'hidden' flags, generally because they're somewhat particular and/or not ready for prime time...

--_help

Displays usage and help with options/arguments. If given, nothing else will be done.

--_pp

Signals that it should print out a basic commandline to generate a binary using the 'pp' command from PAR::Packer (must be installed first). If given, this option causes all other options to be ignored.

Print to a batch file/shellscript or similar, and run it separately, editing any flags as needed. As an example, a Perl was built on a host against a private openssl installation. It turned out that LD_LIBRARY_PATH and options '-l ssl -l crypto' was needed to properly bring the necessary flags in.

Note that this can not be used when you already run a binary.

When a packed binary is run, any PERL5LIB envvar is just dropped which is understandable, but if you find it is needed when running the tests, set the TESTONTAP_PERL5LIB to the desired value and the PERL5LIB variable will be set with that value during the tests running.
