Subject: perl Makefile.PL fails with latest version of WordNet-QueryData
Running "perl Makefile.PL fails with the error Can't locate object method "version" via package "WordNet::QueryData" at Makefile.PL line 257. It appears that it's no longer compatible with the latest version of WordNet::QueryData. The changelog for version 1.46 says: * QueryData.pm (version): removed (Invalid as of WN 3.0) The release notes posted at http://groups.google.com/group/wn-perl/browse_thread/ thread/e15257d9983a4e8c add some more information: Note that I removed the version() function for 1.46 as it no longer reliably reports WN version number. There does not seem to be any way to determine the WordNet version from the database files (dict/*) at the moment---the 3.0database files indicate an old version ( 2.1).

Thanks for reporting this. The current version requirements of WordNet- Similarity are described here: http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/similarity.html The short summary is that right now you need to step back to WordNet 2.1 and WordNet-QueryData 1.45 due to some glitches in WordNet 3.0. There is more detailed discussion of this issue in : http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wn-similarity/ We are hoping that WordNet corrects the issues with 3.0 which include an unexpected loop in the hypernym tree and an incorrect version number being included in their copyright notice. Apologies for not noting these issues on CPAN. Cordially, Ted On Thu Jul 26 12:09:34 2007, WALTMAN wrote: Show quoted text

Thanks! Going back to the older versions fixed the problem. Walt On Thu, Jul 26, 2007 at 01:42:12PM -0400, via RT wrote: Show quoted text

This worked fine with 2.01 and the latest versions of WordNet and WordNet::QueryData. (Well, there's still a minor problem with the required version of WordNet::QueryData listed in Makefile.PL, but I opened up a new ticket for that.) All the tests passed as well. As a result, I consider this issue resolved. Thanks for fixing it!
