Good day, I am not sure is this bug or something. When I want to install Pod::Simple, it require me to install Pod-Escape as prerequisite. [cid:c729800b-fa8d-42a5-b826-7deb638e8b84] Somehow, when I install Pod::Escape, I encountered the issue below which it cannot locate the Pod/Simple.pm. It looks like a infinite loops to me. [cid:d396fe84-cffe-47fd-9c46-f9df37323e1d] I am using redhat 5.7 with perl version of 5.8.8 Hopefully I can get my answer here. Thanks, [😊] BP

The problem that you have is caused by using an older version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker. The most recent versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker don't rely on Pod::Simple any more. Also Perl 5.8.8 is a very old version of the language. If it's possible to somehow upgrade your version of Perl, things should get a lot easier.
