Subject: make fails when 'downloading list of documents'
I'm trying to install XML::Entities on my Ubuntu 6.06 64bit LTS server (perl v5.8.7) root@goliath:~/XML-Entities# make /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" bin/download-entities.pl lib/XML/Entities/Data.pm Downloading the list of documents Couldn't download the index ('http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso9573-2003doc/overview.html' where the .ent files are listed) at bin/download-entities.pl l. make: *** [lib/XML/Entities/Data.pm] Error 9 I am behind a proxy server, however my HTTP_PROXY enviroment variable, /etc/wgetrc and perl CPAN configuration reflects this and is configured correctly to use it.

As suggested in this thread http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=682326 try to set the http_proxy environment variable to the same value as HTTP_PROXY. If it doesn't work out and you think it's XML::Entities' fault, please send another message. On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 2:44 PM, Geoff King via RT <bug-XML-Entities@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

Ok, thanks for the pointer. I checked my settings and it turned out to be my fault, I had a typo in my http_proxy environment variable. :( However, I'm now getting stuck a little further along: root@goliath:~/XML-Entities# make /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" bin/download-entities.pl lib/XML/Entities/Data.pm Downloading the list of documents Downloading the documents Parsing the documents...

If you're talking about the q/unknown command paragraph "=encoding utf8"/, I get that message myself and it's just a warning from the pod processor, which doesn't accept the =encoding command despite it is documented in perlpod. It shouldn't stop you from building the module and actually shouldn't have any effect since there are currently no above-ascii characters in the documentation. Or am I wrong and you can't build it?

It was no bug after all. (sorry for the delay - please ignore this email)
