Subject: activestate and Errno.pm
Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:41:00 -0700
To: <bug-Mail-Box [...] rt.cpan.org>
From: "Michael Higgins" <mhiggins [...] banfieldgroup.com>
http://community.activestate.com/forum-topic/einprogress "...some packages I got from ppm (the Mail::Box set) required the "Errno" package, which installed its own custom version of Errno.pm, which invisibly ruined my day. I removed them, and the test now works." . . . I just removed the same spurious file (installed with ppm-ing the Mail::Box set) which was throwing an error with some regularity. IDK how one goes about getting a fix. AFAICT, it shouldn't require Errno.pm, or, shouldn't attempt to install it's own version, no? Any thoughts?

I would say, that the problem is the other way around. Apparently, ActiveState distributes a version of Errno.pm which is incompatible with the version on CPAN. Through your module search path, the CPAN version overrules the AS' version. This is not a problem of MailBox, AFAICT. Please report the problem to ActiveState.
