Subject: did not have this installation failure with File-HomeDir-0.54.tar.gz
Last week File-HomeDir-0.54 installed perfectly on one RHEL 3.0 server, but today is failing on another two RHEL 3.0 servers when using File-HomeDir-0.55. Perhaps unrelated, perhaps not, I noticed that the current build was with Module::Install 0.58. However, when I attempt to upgrade to Install 0.58, it also fails but with a notice about how RedHat breaks things.... Anyway, here are our installation messages with Perl v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi: Removing previously used /home/kquiros/.cpan/build/File-HomeDir-0.55 Package came without SIGNATURE CPAN.pm: Going to build A/AD/ADAMK/File-HomeDir-0.55.tar.gz String found where operator expected at Makefile.PL line 7, near "name 'File-HomeDir'" (Do you need to predeclare name?)

You should not need to install Module::Install in order to install File-HomeDir. I'll take a look at the problem. Adam K Guest via RT wrote: Show quoted text

I'm seeing the same thing with File::HomeDir 0.55 on both Solaris and MacOS X (both running Perl v5.8.8 without Module::Install).

Sorry for the delay. I screwed up Module::Install 0.58, and couldn't track down Audrey Tang for a couple of days to co-ordinate the correct long-term fix (as opposed to her short-term one). That is fixed, and so now also this is to. File::HomeDir 0.55 uploaded. Again, sorry for the inconvenience :(

Do you have Module::Install installed on your system as an author? Adam K

Yes I have but what I found today after updating Module:Install I got some version mismatch which makes me unable to update File::HomeDir: inc::Module::Install 0.59 loaded Module::Install 0.58. Version mismatch at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/inc/Module/Install.pm line 24.

Erk... :/ For you personally, if you remove the check at... /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/inc/Module/Install.pm line 24 ... by hand, it should upgrade cleanly. Also, you want to be installing 0.60, not 0.59. I'll try and put something into 0.61 to deal with any small residual cases of the broken 0.58 version. Adam K Guest via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Pending further reports, I'm assuming that this is fixed.
