Bug #26271 for Class-Data-Accessor: No 'file' or 'fh' parameter given in an invocation to a required module.

Subject:

No 'file' or 'fh' parameter given in an invocation to a required module.

Class-Data-Accessor-0.03, Windows XP, SP2, 512Meg Ram, ActiveState Perl 5.8.8, Binary build 820. Hello, I am in the middle of a dependency hell with the end goal of installing all of the Catalyst files on Windows. Class::Data::Accessor uses PodParser, which uses Pod::Parser. At first you might think the problem is with PodParser or Pod::Parser because the error message ultimately comes from Pod::Parser. However, I just installed the latest versions of both of them, and they passed all of their tests. Anyway, here is the "nmake" for Class::Data::Accessor and the error report. Show quoted text

No, I would be inclined to blame Module::Build::PodParser. :-) Class::Data::Accessor doesn't use PodParser, Module::Build (Build.PL) does. If you Google Group for "No 'file' or 'fh' parameter given", you will see many modules failing with this error, many of which use Module::Build, but not PodParser itself. I would make sure you have the latest and greatest Module::Build installed. With that said, if you're trying to get Catalyst going on Windows, you will have much much better luck with Strawberry Perl as it includes it's own compiling mechanisms and more often "Just Works" compared to AS perl. -=Chris

Hmph! You are right. The problem was with Module Build. I downloaded and installed Module-Build-0.2807, and the problems went away. Thanks for the tip. I do not know how to mark a ticket as "resolved" so that it goes away. If you know how, please do so. Thanks

Resolved after Module::Build upgrade.
