Was this by manually extracting the tarball, or using CPAN.pm, or CPANPLUS.pm, or...? Build.pm is versionless; I wonder if this is the problem, but we've not had this reported before.

This was with CPAN.pm and I can reproduce when I come through CPAN.pm. But I cannot reproduce it when I run Build.PL from the commandline. But I can reproduce it when I run Makefile.PL from the commandline. Show quoted text
Sorry that I cannot help any more at the moment. Please let me know if you have ideas what else to try. -- andreas

Hmm, I'm afraid I can't reproduce this problem with a clean tarball of OpenGuides 0.61 - extracting the tarball and then running Makefile.PL does not produce an error. Assuming you *can* reproduce the problem from a clean tarball extractio (eg http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/computing/code/OpenGuides-0.61.tar.gz) I've manually hacked up a tarball which includes a versioned Build.pm at http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/computing/code/OpenGuides-0.61-BuildPMtest.tar.gz (note, do not install this version, only run "perl Makefile.PL"). Please post the results of "perl Makefile.PL" from both tarballs. If the former tarball works but the latter does not, then we can simply ensure that Build.PM is versioned (in fact, I will make this change in any case, for consistency). Thanks, Dominic.

Note: directory /openguides/ missing in both URLs above. I tried the first and the second with current bleadperl and I got the error I initially described in both cases. I did the same with perl 5.8.8 and got the same result. Note that I never had a previous installation of openguides and that I have no configuration file and that I answered both of the two questions with yes: Continue with install? [y ]y No existing configuration file found; assuming this is a new install. See the message above if this isn't correct. Skip OpenGuides configuration? [n ]y Show quoted text
I append the two tries with 5.8.8, the bleadperl runs do not provide additional information. Thanks, -- andreas Show quoted text
