Bug #16249 for version: Missing vpp.pm

Fri Dec 02 02:02:03 2005 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

Missing vpp.pm

perl 5.6.0 I have had several packages where it generated "Can't locate version/vpp.pm", however, vpp.pm is not in the MANIFEST of the current version package. For example, I had initially filed a bug report against Log::StdLog: http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=16239 And the author said it was a bug with version.

You haven't told me what version of version.pm you have installed, so I cannot help you very much. You also didn't tell me what platform you are running on (normally this would be done by including the contents of 'perl -V' in the bug report. However, I'll hazard a guess that you are not running Perl on a machine where you can build XS modules (i.e. you don't have a compiler), which is the only way that version.pm can be be used at the moment. I'm going to release a new version.pm to CPAN in the next day or two that make this more explicit. I don't understand how you could have installed version.pm in the first place, since the tests will all fail when you are unable to build the XS library. John

perl 5.6.0 version-0.49 I had performed: perl Makefile.PL make make test << all tests succeeded however, looking within ./blib/lib/version, only vxs.pm existed, and not vpp.pm

Could I get the output of 'perl -V' so I can try and replicate this? Show quoted text

Do you have Module::Build installed? If so, could you do this instead? perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test TIA John

Duh! Of course you have Module::Build installed (the Makefile.PL is just a compatibility wrapper). What version of Module::Build are you running? perl -MModule::Build -le 'print $Module::Build::VERSION' John

Ah, that would be the problem. I'm suprised it built at all. :0 I'll have a specific minimum Module::Build release included with version-0.50, so that won't be an issue again. If you can upgrade to a more modern Module::Build (0.2611 is the current production release) and try and reinstall version.pm, I think you should be much happier. John

It is so easy to contaminate one's PERL environment. Doing a clean reinstall of perl 5.8.7, and Module::Build, everything is fine with version 0.5 Thanks
