| Subject: | File::Spec 0.82 make install does not update site_perl under AIX |
Under AIX 4.3.3 ML-11+Post on RS6K-42W (PPC-604e @ 120MHz, 128MB ECC),
running perl 5.10.0 (output of perl -V appended):
When running build test for Module::Build, the tests all failed with a
File::Spec version error (I could not get a later version than 0.82,
despite the versions listed above, even using CPAN/CPANPLUS). File::Spec
0.7 install was fine, so it took some digging to be sure that the
problem was not in Module::Build. I built File::Spec using CPAN, and by
hand, and both reported 0.82 installed and an 'upgrade File::Spec'
returned "All modules are up to date for File::Spec".
It turns out that the version of File::Spec in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
is left undisturbed (and thus at 0.7).
A manual copy of the files from the source directory fixed the test
problem in Module::Build, and a thorough check now matches up the files
from the
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.0 & /site_perl
branches. File::Spec produced no errors, and reported no problems,
during build and install (and perllocal.pod showed File::Spec at 0.82).
Not a big deal, but for those of us who are systems folk rather than
application programmers, a bit disconcerting (all that implicit faith in
'make/Build install').
