| Summary | 0000225: Perl 5.8.8: Cannot install Module::Build | ||||
| Description | Trying to install Module::Build fails with [E:\Module-Build-0.2808]perl makefile.pl # running Build.PL E:/PERL/BIN/PERL.EXE Build.PL Checking whether your kit is complete... Looks good Checking prerequisites... Invalid prerequisite condition '0' for ExtUtils::Install at lib/Module/Build/Bas e.pm line 1234. Couldn't run Build.PL: at lib/Module/Build/Compat.pm line 200, <DATA> line 547. I've installed ExtUtils::Install though. This is a major problem since most modern Perl add-ons require Module::Build for installation. | ||||

Please try with Perl 5.10.0 - released today. |

The good news is that many modules that I need are already included now. The bad news is that calling any Perl script fails with something like this: E:/txt2html-2.50>perldoc perlmodinstall Feature bundle "5.0.0" is not supported by Perl 5.10.0 at e:/perl5/lib/5.10.0/Pod/Perldoc.pm line 3 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. Compilation failed in require at e:/perl5/lib/5.10.0/Carp.pm line 14. Compilation failed in require at e:/perl5/lib/5.10.0/feature.pm line 206. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at e:/perl5/lib/5.10.0/Pod/Perldoc.pm line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at e:/perl5/lib/5.10.0/Pod/Perldoc.pm line 3. Compilation failed in require at E:\PERL5\BIN/perldoc. line 9. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at E:\PERL5\BIN/perldoc. line 9. |

Running: D:\txt2html-2.50]perl d:\perl5\bin\perldoc perlmodinstall works for me. You don't have a stray PERLLIB_PREFIX interfering with things? |
|
|
No. I also checked for duplicates of executables and DLLs. Nothing of that sort. Could there be something missing from the archive? |
|
|
Well my test on d: was done using the distribution zip... You do have a /bin/sh.exe ? |
|
|
Yes, it's the one from the Perl 5.8.8 distribution. I ran unzip -t on the 5.10.0 distribution zip - no errors. |

|
Reminder sent to: psmedley Is this ticket stale enough to be closed? |
|
|
Please test again with a more recent Perl build |
