| Subject: | Modules fail to install because Config.pm has timestamp in the future |
The timestamps for some of the files in Strawberry Perl 5.10.0 Update
1 Beta 2 are in the future (or at least were when I wrote this). In
particular, it's now March 25, 2008 at 9:58 AM -0800, but the
timestamp of C:\strawberry\perl\lib\Config.pm is March 25, 2008 at
3:56 PM. This is also the timestamp of this file in the zip file, so
I don't think it's a problem with my system.
When I try to install a distribution using the CPAN shell, it fails
because it thinks the Makefile is out-of-date:
Running install for module 'File::Next'
Running make for P/PE/PETDANCE/File-Next-1.02.tar.gz
Fetching with LWP:
http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/authors/id/P/PE/PETDANCE/File-Next-
1.02.tar.gz
Checksum for C:\strawberry\cpan\sources\authors\id\P\PE\PETDANCE\File-
Next-1.02.tar.gz ok
CPAN.pm: Going to build P/PE/PETDANCE/File-Next-1.02.tar.gz
