Bug #34672 for Catalyst-Plugin-I18N: Cannot install

Subject:

Cannot install

I'm trying to install Catalyst::Plugin::I18N locally (it's shared hosting and I don't have root/sudo). There is a prerequisite I18N::LangTags::Detect which for some reason wants to install itself to the perl system directories. Also the server is running perl 5.8.4 and the install wants to make me upgrade to 5.8.6. The documentation says that the prerequisite is only 5.8.0. I can't install I18N::LangTags::Detect so the Catalyst::Plugin::I18N install fails.

I should add that I am using CPAN.pm to do the install. I tried CPANPLUS with similar effect.

According to the Makefile.PL for I18N::LangTags::Detect (which is not under my control), if the perl version is greater than 5.7.3, then it wants to overwrite the core library. Show quoted text

Is I18N::LangTags::Detect requiring 5.8.6 (I can't seem to see that requirement anywhere)? The Catalyst plugin I maintain has no such requirement. -Brian

The problem must be actually with I18N::LangTags::Detect not Catalyst::Plugin::I18N. I18N::LangTags::Detect is claiming to be part of the perl core since 5.8.6. I've done a manual install of the offending module without any visible bad effects, but then I haven't got the application running yet for unrelated reasons (mod_rewrite hell).

I am marking this ticket as rejected since I think we've deduced that it isn't a problem with Catalyst-Plugin-I18N specifically.
