Subject: PerlCritic install bug
Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 13:46:20 -0500
To: <bug-Perl-Critic [...] rt.cpan.org>
From: "Sitzmann, Gary H \(Gary\)" <ghs1 [...] alcatel-lucent.com>
Was installing PerlCritic 1.078 on Solaris 8 and ran into an incompatibility with Solaris tar. It took awhile to debug it and needed some help from Pete person so thought I would report it to make others aware of the problem. Was getting lots of test failures for ProhibitQuotesAsQuotelikeOperatorDelimiters with only 82% complete Finally decided to back up to 1.076 And got the following warning the FIRST time only when running perl Makefile.PL. I had so many warnings the first time during install that I probably skipped over this warning. Checking if your kit is complete... Warning: the following files are missing in your kit: lib/Perl/Critic/Policy/ValuesAndExpressions/ProhibitQuotesAsQuotelikeOpe ratorDelimiters.pm Please inform the author. Writing Makefile for Perl::Critic Turns out that Solaris tar must have a built in limit and it created ProhibitQuotesAsQuotelikeOperatorDelimiters rather than one with the .pm extension. Switched to gtar and was all set. So a couple of issues, 1) perl Makefile.PL should really check every single time for installation especially with a large package to see if it was all delivered 2) Might consider adding a note that Solaris 8 tar won't work for this installation and gtar from GNU should be used instead Gary Sitzmann Alcatel-Lucent mailto:ghs1@alcatel-lucent.com Phone: 630 713 7338 http://mobility.ih.lucent.com/~ghs1

Gary, Do you happen to know if Sun fixed the tar bug in Solaris 9? Chris

That's what ExtUtils::MakeMaker was doing, so there's nothing to change here. Show quoted text

I just pushed a 1.079_001 release which includes such a message on Solaris. I would appreciate if you would grab it and test that the warning is actually issued. Note that this version contains a policy with an even longer name. :]

I need a hint on where the 1.079 release is located:-) I checked http://www.perl.org and http://cpan.perl.org/authors/id/E/EL/ELLIOTJS and see 1.078. I might be on a mirror or something and not seeing the latest update.
