To be honest, i don't know.. you're using a version of bleadperl which may be the problem. Also, it seems to find CPANPLUS::Dist::Build and Module::Build, so the files are definately there. Perhaps CPANPLUS::inc's coderef in @INC does something evil that's unforeseen... can you take a look at that perhaps? -- Jos Boumans From kid's Superman costume for Halloween (stitched into the cape's tag) -- "Warning: Use of This Device Does Not Enable Wearer To Fly."

The best I can figure out is that the crash Assertion ((&(PL_curstackinfo->si_cxstack)[(PL_curstackinfo->si_cxix)])- Show quoted text

>cx_type & 0xff) == 2 failed: file "pp_ctl.c", line 2694

at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.2/CPANPLUS/inc.pm line 346, <> line 646. occurs when CPANPLUS/inc.pm line 346 tries to eval something weird, for example: eval "*UNIVERSAL::VERSION = $old_version;" I did a big find and grep but I can NOT find that string anywhere in my perl installation...

*ouch* I'd expect it to throw an error though, rather than act all wonky: [kane@myriad ~]$ perlc -e'eval"*UNIVERSAL::VERSION=$old_version";print $@' syntax error at (eval 1) line 2, at EOF Show quoted text

do a grep in your .cpanplus dir too -- the code eval'd should be the VERSION statement in the file currently being attempted to be loaded. I coudln't reproduce thsi on my 5.8.x install... also, that regex is mostly stolen from EU::MM.. so if it's giving trouble here, it might also give trouble there... -- Jos Boumans "If superman is so smart, why does he wear underpants over his trousers?"

I found it in .../.cpanplus/5.9.2/build/Module-Build- 0.2611/lib/Module/Build/Base.pm *UNIVERSAL::VERSION = $old_version; Of course, it's not declaring the VERSION of this module at all, it's just part of its code. The module has no $VERSION declaration.

I've reported this on to the Module::Build folks, in the hope they'll fix their code. This regex that finds this section of code is shared among EU::MM, Module::Installed and CPANPLUS... all 3 would get the 'wrong' answer, which makes me think it's sufficient cause to ask for a codefix: #14226 Lack of $VERSION declaration in M::B::Base causes spurious failures
