| Subject: | Unable to install Module::Build 0.2801 in perl 5.8.0 on RH9 Linux upgraded with Fedora Legacy packages |
NOTE: Please see the bottom for "perl -v" and "uname -a" output.
I have a stock RedHat 9 Linux (Shrike) system installed as a VMWare VM
in VMWare Server Beta 2. The system RPMs have been updated from the
fedoralegacy.org update site using "yum". The Perl RPM has been
updated as part of that process. The Perl RPMs are as follows:
perl-5.8.0-90.0.13.legacy
perl-CGI-2.81-90.0.13.legacy
perl-CPAN-1.61-90.0.13.legacy

I'm unable to install Module::Build using CPAN on this system, and it
appears there is some discrepencancy in the Perl config information.
Here's the end of the installation process:

Here's something strange - notice the value of 'uname' above:
uname='linux jan'
If I look at the contents of /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-
multi/Config.pm, the value of 'myuname' (which is used to populate the
uname field above) is:
myuname='linux jane.spidermaker.fedoralegacy.org 2.6.8-1.521smp #1 smp
mon aug 16 09:25:06 edt 2004 i686 athlon i386 gnulinux '
For some reason, the output of the command-line invoked configuration
dump has been truncated on that value, and I noticed that other values
have differences in where spaces and line breaks appear. That causes
the _perl_is_same function in Module::Build::Base.pm to fail,
preventing the module from installing.
Do you have any ideas why the truncation/formatting problem is
occuring and how to fix it?
Thank you,
Greg Larkin
