Subject: Problem with the instructions given on the webpage on a centos 5.2 install
Through personal cleverness and all on my own (while no one was looking) I decided to install lib::local. After carefully reading the instructions here: http://search.cpan.org/~mstrout/local-lib-1.002000/lib/local/lib.pm I cleverly deduced that I needed to follow the instructions headed 'To bootstrap if you don't have local::lib itself installed'. Upon carefully following these instructions, and not deviating a bit, I was surprised to find that I fail. Please see the attached transcript that hopefully gives all the pertinent details. I am running a Centos 5.2 distro that is more or less 'out of the box' as far as I know... although I know that "the Perl DBI::Class 'issue' has been patched..."

I've taken a look at this and after having successfully set it up in Ubuntu, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X, I'm inclined to say that this is a CentOS (read: DeadRat)-specific problem. I'll take a further look at it later, but right now I'm too disgusted with CentOS to look at it any longer.

Argh. Ok, our sysadmin hit this one on RHEL. Basically, auto_install_now under certain circumstances manages to chdir(). So the Makefile actually gets written, just ... not where you wanted it to be. Running Makefile.PL a second time is a perfectly fine workaround until we get a release out that either chddir()s back or we figure out wtf is actually doing the chdir() and hit it with a shovel until it stops doing that.

Heh. It's not a DBIx::Class issue, it's a "red hat can't package perl for shit" issue. But never mind, at least you have a fixed version :) Personally, I like debian for perl deployment. If you're on Red Hat of some sort, I'd strongly recommend building your own perl. My team's experience as consultants on perl deployment is that using the RH stock perl is only useful as a source of billable hours :) -- Matt S Trout Need help with your Catalyst or DBIx::Class project?

I believe this to be fixed by my patch that was released as part of 1.004000.

Indeed. It can be reopened if it's still a problem.
