Module::ScanDeps isn't installed correctly - its Makefile.PL clearly states: requires 'Module::Metadata' => '0'; BTW, you obviously didn't run "make test" when installing PAR::Packer, otherwise you would have caught this earlier. Cheers, Roderich

At some point, you should try to be a little more helpful. You can see there is a problem with ScanDeps without running make test. I was requesting help - not requesting a description of what I did wrong. The version of ScanDeps which comes with CentOS 6.2x64 doesn't work (0.90), the latest one via yum doesn't work (0.92), the latest one on the internet (1.17) causes the problem you see below. None of them install with any problems. PAR-Packer-1.023 seems to only work with a specific version range (which isn't documented anywhere that I could find). The one I found which worked was version 0.97. Show quoted text

No, YOU are not helpful here. You should NOT install Perl modules without running "make test". Also you're generally on your own if "make test" fails and you install the modules nonetheless. Your're welcome to submit a bug report in this case, though. Show quoted text

Nonsense, PAR::Packer states (Makefile.PL) requires 'Module::ScanDeps' => '1.17'; If you did the whole "download and unpack tarball, perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install" dance by hand, then running "perl Makefile.PL" would have shown that you are missing dependencies. If you did ignore that, then at least "make test" would have failed. BTW, I heavily recommend to use a program like "cpan" (comes with Perl core) or "cpanm" to install Perl modules. Both would have inferred the above dependency of PAR::Packer and installed Modules::ScanDeps BEFORE working on PAR::Packer. Cheers, Roderich

Hello Roderich: You are making no sense: The latest ScanDeps is what caused the problem (so apparently it doesn't work with PAR Packer 1.023). The one I installed doesn't even meet the requirement you show below, but it worked. I posted this thread requesting help and all you give me is grief and bullshit. When I reported the problem, I knew there was a problem with ScanDeps, but there was no problem installing ScanDeps (also there is no rule for make test on it), and the error only appeared when doing a make test or executing pp. I was requesting help with the problem, which I didn't get until you recommended cpan below. All I got back is - ScanDeps was installed incorrectly. How do you install it incorrectly? It is just a make and make install just like PAR-Packer. I wasn't missing any dependencies - make test or not. It is an incompatibility between PAR-Packer and the latest ScanDeps. Lance Show quoted text
