Bug #122263 for REST-Client: Module::Install dependency

Just a FYI - I've been experiencing failed installs of REST::Client using "cpanm" where the dependency on Module::Install is not downloading and installing first. Perhaps adding it to the Makefile.PL file?

MI is being run from the inc/ directory - it is not meant to be installed from cpan for user installations of the distribution. Can you provide the output of your build?

Might want to check the use line for it in the Makefile.PL - inc::Module::Install won't do it I'm pretty sure.. have to use lib 'inc' then use Module::Install --> Working on REST::Client [96/262] Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/K/KK/KKANE/REST-Client-273.tar.gz -> OK Unpacking REST-Client-273.tar.gz Entering REST-Client-273 Checking configure dependencies from META.yml Checking if you have ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.58 ...

I see you're using perl 5.24.1 -- is that on debian? Debian has applied the 5.26 changes to remove '.' from @INC into their 5.24 build as well I believe. The easy solution to that is indeed `use lib 'inc';` but the better (but more time-consuming) solution is to move off of Module::Install entirely. I see this was already reported in https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=120854.

Yes, that's right! I remember hearing about that now. First time I've been bit by it. It works fine if Module:: Install is already installed somewhere on your system in the path. That's probably why more people haven't said anything. Thanks Karen! Mark On Tue, Jun 27, 2017, 21:47 Karen Etheridge via RT < bug-REST-Client@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text
