Usually, this sort of thing happens when there's been a problem building
lib/Config_heavy.pl.
If you look earlier in the build logs (if you have them), you should see
the following commands:
./miniperl -w -Ilib -MExporter -e '<?>' || make minitest
./miniperl -Ilib configpm
written lib/Config.pod
updated lib/Config.pm
updated lib/Config_heavy.pl
Were there any errors reported during that process?
Was the file lib/Config_heavy.pl created? The tail end of that file is
something like
# Called by the real AUTOLOAD
sub launcher {
undef &AUTOLOAD;
goto \&$Config::AUTOLOAD;
}
Sometimes, it appears that the file lib/Config_heavy.pl gets truncated
(perhaps because the disk is full or perhaps for some other odd reason
we've never figured out).
You are using an ActiveState source distribution. Last time I looked,
that had some changes related to Config_heavy.pl included, though I
don't recall any details. I wouldn't think they would be a problem, but
if this doesn't turn out to be something simple, you might want to try
with an unpatched version. (See pod/perlhack.pod for how to get the
current source.)
