Problems installing Jifty. Test::WWW::Selenium fails because AutoInstall is deprecated. Needs an updated version of Module::Install

While installing Jifty via cpanplus it "threw me into" the "old cpan" to install the 'Test::Mock::LWP' module, which was required for the 'Test::WWW::Selenium' module to be installed. The bug may be in 'Test::WWW::Selenium' as it uses the 'auto_install;' command. And I think it needs an updated version of Module::Install included to fix this. This is what I did in order to "work around" it. Downloaded the Test::WWW::Selenium tarball, unpack it, edit the Makefile.PL and removed the line 'auto_install;' Tar up Test::WWW::Selenium again and ran 'cpanp -i file:///path/to/Test-WWW-Selenium.tar.gz' and installed Test::WWW::Selenium module and all of it's dependencies. # Below is all of the details that I can think of to "recreate" # the environment I was in when the above happened. # Version of Test::WWW::Selenium was: Test-WWW-Selenium-1.17 # My version of Perl was: v5.10.0 # The 'uname -a' command gives my the following about my OS enviroment: Linux username 2.6.27-7-generic i686 GNU/Linux # Specific OS I am using: Xubuntu 8.10 w/ Xfce 4 Desktop Environment version 4.4.2 (Xfce 4.4) # End If there is anything I can do to help out I would be glad to volunteer. Thanks for your time, Jim

Hi, Thanks for the bug report. I've updated Module::Install for the latest version here: http://github.com/lukec/cpan-selenium-rc-perl If you would be so kind to pull down the updated version and see if it fixes your problem, then I will package it and push it up to CPAN. If I don't hear from you I'll just push it up to CPAN in a few days. Cheers, Luke On Tue Jun 09 18:50:08 2009, jxc wrote: Show quoted text

Luke- ...just found the time to start "fooling around" with the updated module. Wouldn't 'sudo cpanp -i lukec-cpan-selenium-rc-perl-6595015686bb741767c31844386bccd792ae0e64.tar.gz' be enough to get cpanp to start installing the module and it's dependencies? The other way 'perl Makefile.PL" produced the following error: "Bareword "WriteAll" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at Makefile.PL line 19. Execution of Makefile.PL aborted due to compilation errors." I have not had much opportunity to do something like this so I think it's more of a 'user error' than anything else. Usually 90% of the time it's a "permissions thing". I install under 'root' when I use cpanp so maybe that's the problem? I am sure it's something I am going wrong so I'll keep working at it.

Hi Jim, I would expect that you could git-clone or download a tarball from http://github.com/lukec/cpan-selenium-rc-perl/tree/master, and then run `perl Makefile.PL` and it should work. I just tried running it and it seemed to work okay. try doing: sudo make clean first, perhaps.

I never heard back on this issue. I will be releasing a newer Module::Install with 1.18.
