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.

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.
