Subject: Module::Install-based packages randomly fail configure phase
Running Strawberry Perl 5.10.1 (Oct 2009) and trying to install various CPAN packages using Module::Install. I get this message during the configure stage: fix_up_makefile: Couldn't open Makefile: Invalid argument at inc/Module/Install/Makefile.pm line 243. I assume that it is the open() in line 244 that is the actual error. Module::Install 0.91 seems to be the version in use. The Makefile in question has normal permissions, and the account that tries to install things has administrative rights. If I try to run the cpan XXX over and over again it eventually works and the package is installed (with tests not failing), but I don't feel very confident. Is this a perl bug (related to open()) or a Module::Install bug? Considering I have also seen failing tests I would think that it is a open() bug related to Windows 7 x64. Can anyone reproduce this consistently? These pastes show some of the errors I encountered: http://gist.github.com/232903 http://gist.github.com/232914 I talked to kmx @ #win32@irc.perl.org and he suggested I report this here. -- Robin

In the past, I have sometimes seen situations in which disk permissions changes lag a bit. We've seen in the past that sometimes a directory delete system call returns true BEFORE the directory has actually gone away. It might be something similar in this case...

The changes to Module/Install/Makefile.pm (v0.98) fixed the problem for me. Please test and confirm.

Since I never had this particular problem (I've had similar ones, but not with Module::Install) I'm closing this.
