| Subject: | CPAN install fails |
Hiya,
I've had several problems installing Encode-Detect on Mac OS X; I imagine the same problems will be found on other systems. Hopefully this feedback will help:
1. 'Your' Makefile.PL does not work.
You have a stub Makefile.PL that was auto-generated by CPAN.pm. As you're using Module::Build, you probably don't want this to happen. Instead, you can use this parameter for M::B->new:
create_makefile_pl => 'passthrough',
This will create a Makefile.PL that uses your Build.PL when you run a './Build dist'.
2. You have un-documented dependencies.
Your tests require:
Test::More
Data::Dump
These should go into Build.PL:
build_requires => { 'Test::More' => '0.01', 'Data::Dump' => 0.01 }
See the patch attached.
If you've got any questions, I'm happy to help, otherwise check out the Module-Build list:
