Here is a set of changes I made to the bin/testenv to help diagnose problems with the perl modules on the webserver.

Please note that the reason I added these tests turned out to be that the lib/TWiki/Net.pm did not check that the SMTP object was actually created. If your mailserver is not set correctly then the object will not be created and you get an ambigious error message. This patch will not fix the SMTP problem. I also worry that other library error codes are not checked elsewhere in the code.

TestEnvPerlDiffs

I recieved one letter telling me that this patch was windows specific because I display the state of Perl libraries which are only required on Windows machines. I believe that administrators would prefer to see more data rather then less and to know the state of optional libraries is a benifit not a detriment. We can always change the display to tell users that these libraries are only required on Windows.

Thanks for the updates, I have merged these in as part of the testenv updates I'm doing. See CookbookActivePerlTestenv for some others. The new and improved testenv will shortly be in CVS.
