| Subject: | Build errors occur when install lacks Apache::Test |
Sorry this is a bit long.
When I run 'perl Makefile.PL' without Apache::Test installed I received
the following error:
This module can optionally use Apache::Test to test the mod_perl
functionality.
Undefined subroutine &ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt called at Makefile.PL
line 31.
I fixed it with Makefile.PL.patch attached.
Basically the Makefile.PL didn't include a require for
ExtUtils::MakeMaker, CWD, and CPAN, in that block.
Afterwards, I ran into an issue with the 'Build.PL' script. (Makefile.PL
answering 'n' to the apache::test question:
This module can optionally use Apache::Test to test the mod_perl
functionality.
Install Apache::Test now from CPAN? [y] n
# running Build.PL --install_path lib=/home/users/lcarmich/perllib
/usr/local/bin/perl5 Build.PL --install_path
lib=/home/users/lcarmich/perllib
Can't locate object method "new" via package "Module::Build" (perhaps
you forgot to load "Module::Build"?) at Build.PL line 2.
I fixed this by adding a require of the $build_pkg before the 'new' is
called. See attached patch 'Build.PL.patch'.
