A dieing test will prevent FAIL messages?
I was not accurate. Bail out in tests or die in the Makefile.PL|Build.PL.

Also read CPAN Author Notes.

    Bail out in tests ...

    How do you "Bail out" without dieing?

    or die in the Makefile.PL|Build.PL

    Hm. I'd forgotten about that heap of dingos kidneys.

    Let's see if I've remembered this correctly. I have to:

    1. Navigate my way around 26 nested classes (with 13 dependent packages) in order to:
    2. Write a perl script that:
    3. Generates a makefile that:
    4. Invokes perl plus another nested heap of packages to:
    5. issue emulated commands that:
    6. copy a single file from one directory to another!

    Executable configuration files are like using a cement mixer truck to make a pudding.
