Subject: Can't install DateTime-0.51 with CPAN
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:09:57 -0600
To: bug-DateTime [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Bill Stephenson <bills [...] perlhelp.com>
I'm having trouble using CPAN to install DateTime-0.51 . I tried on my Mac and my ViaVerio Virtual Web Server (VPS-2). The errors were the same on both. Here's the specs: Mac OS X (10.3.9) perl v5.8.4 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level Web Server FreeBSD perl v5.8.4 built for i386-freebsd Below is the output from the CPAN installs on both boxes. Any help you can give will be much appreciated. Kindest Regards, -- Bill Stephenson ezInvoice.com 417-546-8390 ========================== Mac ========================== Show quoted text

I think this is a bad interaction between Module::Build and older versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker. If you upgrade the latter module that will fix the problem. Or it might be a problem with CPAN.pm itself. Are you using a very old version, because they didn't know how to install modules which used Module::Build, but that's been fixed for a really long time. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/

You nailed it. It was my old CPAN. I'd been putting off updating forever. I got both CPAN updated and DateTime installed on my Mac, now I'll have to do the same on the web server. I really want to thank you for both your hard work on DateTime and the help installing it. I promise I'll send some beer money as soon as I get through this task.
