Copyright 1998-2008 perl.org Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:18:05 +0000 ask@perl.org Where to post? by Keith Knapp Hello, The description of this list says that it is for non-technical questions regarding CPAN. Isn't everything about CPAN technical? What would be an example of a non-technical question (except this question itself)? I guess here is a non-technical question, Where do I go to ask semi-technical questions like the one below? "I keep trying to install modules using CPAN and they seem to download alright, but I keep getting error messages like the following when it runs make... make: Warning: File `Makefile' has modification time 4.6e+05 s in the future make[1]: warning: Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete. I have checked my system time and it is valid. I have checked my make program /usr/bin/make and its date is in the past. I have check the date and time of the downloaded perl modules and their makefile dates are also in the past. What is wrong? Any ideas" Regards, Keith http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.discuss/2008/07/msg466.html Wed, 02 Jul 2008 05:50:36 +0000 too many errors on installation by Noah Hi there, is there any way to remove all the CPAN modules and reinstall Bundle::CPAN from scratch?

My gut feeling is that it is a permission problem. CPAN 1.7602 is *quite* old and had no good error messages for perrmission problems. So if you can somehow install stable 1.9205 or developer release 1.92_62 manually and then retry I'd expect the error messages will give you more clue. -- andreas http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.discuss/2008/06/msg457.html Sun, 08 Jun 2008 14:46:59 +0000 cpan "couldn't untar" by Peter Michaux Hi, I am trying to get the cpan command line program functional but I am seeing an untar error ----------- # cpan install Bundle::CPAN CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Sat, 07 Jun 2008 12:06:45 GMT Running install for module install Running make for J/JU/JUNOS/junoscript-perl-6.4I0.tar.gz CPAN: Digest::MD5 loaded ok CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok Checksum for /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/J/JU/JUNOS/junoscript-perl-6.4I0.tar.gz ok Scanning cache /root/.cpan/build for sizes Uncompressed /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/J/JU/JUNOS/junoscript-perl-6.4I0.tar.gz successfully Using Tar:/bin/tar xvf /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/J/JU/JUNOS/junoscript-perl-6.4I0.tar: Couldn't untar /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/J/JU/JUNOS/junoscript-perl-6.4I0.tar ----------- I can manually untar this file # /bin/tar xvf /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/J/JU/JUNOS/junoscript-perl-6.4I0.tar # ls -l junoscript-perl-junoscript-perl-6.4I0 drwxr-xr-x 6 2298 705 4096 2004-08-25 21:40 junoscript-perl-6.4I0/ I don't know who the user 2298 or group 705 are. ------------ No matter what I try to install or how it seems to result in this same untar problem.

Hard to say what exactly went wrong. It looks like you're having troubles that need to be resolved manually. Maybe fedora has a newer Scalar::Util for you that you did not install? Maybe try to install a fresh, self-compiled Compress::Zlib first? If CPAN.pm cannot do it for you, maybe 'o conf dontload_list Compess::Zlib' can help there. If this doesn't help you probably need to remove the fedora zlib packages and retry. -- andreas http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.discuss/2008/05/msg455.html Sun, 25 May 2008 02:57:07 +0000 problem upgrading Bundle::CPAN by Listman hi, i've been using cpan for several years with very few problems, i just tried to upgrate my CPAN install and got a lot of failures.

I Installed Perl and then ran "cpan". I am not sure I ran everything correctly and would like to clear off the first "cpan" config and run another.

In doing so I had a few questions. I hope this is the right place to ask them. - Currently IPv6 support is provided through IO::Socket::INET6 as opposed to being directly part of IO::Socket::INET. Are there any reasons why the IPv6 support could not be migrated up to the package being extended. Is this also something that is likely to be done only once IPv6 is the norm? - In converting an application, that has been using IO::Socket::INET to use IO::Socket::INET6, are there any issues that people have encountered or breakages that I should watch out for? Assuming an IPv4 address is probably one point, but I would be curious to know if there are others.

Unless you own the site, that is...but don't want to step on toes of active developers. I don't want to go off and have another interface without cleaning up the one that is *most* visible, and most advertised in the process. Some possible guidelines: 1) adding separate domain names (may go to same site but with different params used for search and such) "archive.cpan.org" and "devel.cpan.org". I'd like to see the practice of domain-name squatting...er, I mean "module-name squatting" squished. Let people develop on devel.cpan.org and when the owner feels their software ready to be "released" (V1.0) for general use -- it can be moved to the main base. While I know that releasing a "spec" or a "plan" as a name reservation has been common practice, I run across too many modules, that years after their posting date, seem to be nothing more than "place holders" for vaporware. If I was a paranoid person -- one of the best ways to kill CPAN would be to have every MS employee (just a random example, but came to mind when I thought of vaporware) sign up under email and submit plans and bits of partial code to clog up the CPAN namespace and make searching through it like searching for the proverbial needle in the haystack. 2) Allow modules with long-standing bugs or that don't build under the current perl be marked for possible archiving. 3) Modules should be "tagged" by perl-release (5.10, 5.8, 5.6...) that they are known to work in. This way, someone who wants a good chance of finding a module that will work with 5.10 or 5.8, could limit their search to modules with those tags in them. In absence of tags in existing modules, a tag can be added that corresponds to the version of perl that was "out" when the module was last updated. 4) Quarterly, modules that have had bugs opened for longer than a year would have "tags" for the perl-version associated with the bug, "removed" (indicating the module doesn't work in that version of perl). Nothing would prevent a module maintainer from re-adding the tag, but hopefully they'll close out the bug(s) that caused the tag-removal in the first place (either by fixing it, or marking it as "NOTABUG", "ISAFEATURE", or "WONTFIX"). (whatever values that make the bug no longer 'active'). 5) If a module is known to work in a newer release, the newer tag should be addable by (maybe) any CPAN author with, at least, the Perl version and the "author" verified it to work on. 6) Modules that are more than 2 or 3 stable ".versions" 'old' would be automatically moved to 'archive.cpan.org'. I.e. with 5.10 out, cutoff would be those modules not marked with tags for anything later than 5.4 or 5.2 (respectively) (in my mind, something written for 5.4 may or may not work but if something hasn't been known or marked to work with anything newer than 5.2, I'd have a low confidence of its current usefulness. Auto expirations would get rid of the stuff that no one cares about (or at least not enough to check with newer versions) and would prevent crude from building up, forever, over time. > I think there should be some interface to CPAN (either search.cpan.org > or elsewhere) > where you would fine the "better" modules. > The only problem of course is that no one can say what "better" is. --- Not an area I want to address with this -- If it is obsolete or broken for years, I don't care if it is rated 10 stars, it still shouldn't clutter up the working CPAN library. It's not hard if someone wants to 'game' the system. If someone is 'gaming' the system, this isn't meant to deal with that. It's only meant to slowly expire older, non-working modules and archive them for historical reference. > We already have several tools to measure modules with more or less > relevance. --- Even 'relevance' isn't as much of a problem -- I mean it can be, but it's about moving toward some automatic maintenance that would get rid of stuff that isn't so useful for people, "today" yet would allow working modules to remain without any action for years (depending on how many major releases have passed and how often they come out). Does this sound like a reasonable, concrete and automatable proposal? If this isn't the best place for this, where would be, "cpan"? http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.discuss/2008/04/msg450.html Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:30:05 +0000 Re: Math::Calculus::Expression problem by Steffen Mueller Hi, Sendu Bala schrieb: > Ah, the problem is that inside the tmp-16218 directory a > Math-Calculus-Expression-0.2.2 directory is created but that directory > does not have execute permissions.

I'm pretty confident that this needs to by fixed by the author. The only other possibility would be the following chain of events: - Jonathan doesn't react to this at all. (Not even saying he's not going to do anything about it.) Or says he's willing to give up the module. - You contact the PAUSE admins (modules@perl.org) showing that you have been trying to contact Jonathan by various means for an extended period of time. - You get the permissions to use the namespace, download the distribution, fix it, upload with $VERSION++. Again: This is only a fallback. Ideally, the author should fix the distribution. I see that he's cc'd, so I suppose he'll chime in shortly.

You have to make sure your copy of XML::Simple is kept up to date for two reasons: a. to ensure security (ie, security patches into the main tree need to be added to yours) b. to ensure the bindings always match up with the C version (in the case of wrappers to libraries. not sure if XML::Simple is like XML::LibXML though..) 2. You are making people download larger packages, which defeats the purpose of CPAN. If everyone did this there'd be a lot of redundancy and it would become a huge mess. My answer is to write a Perl module and distribute it via CPAN. Write it in a general way such that it can be used by others; particularly since I'm sure lots of people would be interested in an easy interface to Urchin/Google stats. Makefile.PL or Module-Build have facilities for ensuring that all dependencies are appropriately met -- that's its purpose. If you *really* want to do this, and I'm almost certain it's not what you want, then include the package in a lib/ directory and just 'use lib "/path/to/lib/"' at the top of your code. Or you can mess around with %INC%, but that's *really* not recommended.

This results in bugs (I had to update 9 CPAN modules the week after I first got access to a RHEL 4 Update 1 machine). I know for a fact there's still some bizarre thread bugs hidden in some versions of RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 that cause Test::More to fail its tests. At my company we've just plain given up on RHEL 4 and we're moving to 5 to try to avoid them. If you are having troubles with a vendor-screwed-up Perl version, my main recommendation would be to build your /opt/perl and use that for your application. Alternatively, if you have formal support contracts with those vendors PLEASE file formal bug reports. It's one of the few weapons we have to push them to not pull this crap.

But if I compile the entire perl by myself it doesnt occur and works just find. I tried with different versions of perl and XML-Lib but no difference. Here is the code: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use XML::LibXML; use Getopt::Std; use vars qw/$opt_x/; { # main my $parser = XML::LibXML->new(); my $usercfg = $parser->parse_file('./user.cfg'); my $mailcfg = $parser->parse_file('./server.cfg'); my $uroot = $usercfg->documentElement; my $mroot = $mailcfg->documentElement; my @unodes = $uroot->findnodes('./'); my @mnodes = $mroot->findnodes('./'); The different config show this: /usr/bin/perl -V (Distribution: Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 5) configuration: Platform: osname=linux, osvers=2.6.9-55.0.9.elsmp, archname=i386-linux- thread-multi uname='linux hs20-bc1-5.build.redhat.com 2.6.9-55.0.9.elsmp #1 smp tue sep 25 02:16:15 edt 2007 i686 i686 i386 gnulinux ' config_args='-des -Doptimize=-O2 -g -pipe -m32 -march=i386 - mtune=pentium4 -Dversion=5.8.5 -Dmyhostname=localhost - Dperladmin=root@localhost -Dcc=gcc -Dcf_by=Red Hat, Inc. - Dinstallprefix=/usr -Dprefix=/usr -Darchname=i386-linux - Dvendorprefix=/usr -Dsiteprefix=/usr -Duseshrplib -Dusethreads - Duseithreads -Duselargefiles -Dd_dosuid -Dd_semctl_semun -Di_db - Ui_ndbm -Di_gdbm -Di_shadow -Di_syslog -Dman3ext=3pm -Duseperlio - Dinstallusrbinperl -Ubincompat5005 -Uversiononly -Dpager=/usr/bin/less -isr -Dinc_version_list=5.8.4 5.8.3 5.8.2 5.8.1 5.8.0' hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define usethreads=define use5005threads=undef useithreads=define usemultiplicity=define useperlio=define d_sfio=undef uselargefiles=define usesocks=undef use64bitint=undef use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=undef usemymalloc=n, bincompat5005=undef Compiler: cc='gcc', ccflags ='-D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBUGGING -fno- strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE - D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/gdbm', optimize='-O2 -g -pipe -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4', cppflags='-D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBUGGING -fno-strict- aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/gdbm' ccversion='', gccversion='3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-8)', gccosandvers='' intsize=4, longsize=4, ptrsize=4, doublesize=8, byteorder=1234 d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=12 ivtype='long', ivsize=4, nvtype='double', nvsize=8, Off_t='off_t', lseeksize=8 alignbytes=4, prototype=define Linker and Libraries: ld='gcc', ldflags =' -L/usr/local/lib' libpth=/usr/local/lib /lib /usr/lib libs=-lresolv -lnsl -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lpthread - lc perllibs=-lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lpthread -lc libc=/lib/libc-2.3.4.so, so=so, useshrplib=true, libperl=libperl.so gnulibc_version='2.3.4' Dynamic Linking: dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags='-Wl,-E - Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE' cccdlflags='-fPIC', lddlflags='-shared -L/usr/local/lib' Characteristics of this binary (from libperl): Compile-time options: DEBUGGING MULTIPLICITY USE_ITHREADS USE_LARGE_FILES PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT Built under linux Compiled at Oct 22 2007 16:12:50 /usr/local/bin/perl -V (self compiled) Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 7) configuration: Platform: osname=linux, osvers=2.6.9-42.0.3.elsmp, archname=i686-linux uname='linux pony.cenix-bioscience.com 2.6.9-42.0.3.elsmp #1 smp mon sep 25 17:28:02 edt 2006 i686 athlon i386 gnulinux ' config_args='' hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=undef usemultiplicity=undef useperlio=define d_sfio=undef uselargefiles=define usesocks=undef use64bitint=undef use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=undef usemymalloc=n, bincompat5005=undef Compiler: cc='cc', ccflags ='-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/gdbm', optimize='-O2', cppflags='-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/ include/gdbm' ccversion='', gccversion='3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)', gccosandvers='' intsize=4, longsize=4, ptrsize=4, doublesize=8, byteorder=1234 d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=12 ivtype='long', ivsize=4, nvtype='double', nvsize=8, Off_t='off_t', lseeksize=8 alignbytes=4, prototype=define Linker and Libraries: ld='cc', ldflags =' -L/usr/local/lib' libpth=/usr/local/lib /lib /usr/lib libs=-lnsl -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc perllibs=-lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc libc=/lib/libc-2.3.4.so, so=so, useshrplib=false, libperl=libperl.a gnulibc_version='2.3.4' Dynamic Linking: dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags='-Wl,-E' cccdlflags='-fpic', lddlflags='-shared -L/usr/local/lib' Characteristics of this binary (from libperl): Compile-time options: USE_LARGE_FILES Built under linux Compiled at Oct 11 2006 02:59:09 It would be great if someone could pojnt me in the right direction.

(I've added the list address back in) It sounds as if threads and threads::share previously got some test errors in the same cpan session. If you quit from cpan, restart it and then attempt the install again you may see the test errors. That's the information that we need to diagnose the problem. Another thing you could try is cpan> look threads That'll unpack the threads distribution and open a command shell in the directory where it was unpacked. Then you can manually attempt: $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test $ sudo make install (only do each step if the previous one succeeded) I've just tried that here and I notice that threads needs you to have a C compiler. Might that be the reason why it failed to build? Do you have a C compiler installed? -- Andy Armstrong, Hexten http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.discuss/2008/01/msg434.html Sat, 05 Jan 2008 06:35:16 +0000 Re: Anybody here by Andy Armstrong On 5 Jan 2008, at 13:27, LeRoy DeVries wrote: > I've subscribed to this forum however, I have not seen any traffic. > Anybody here that might be able to help out a newbie Hello LeRoy.
