Subject: Operation "bool": no method found, argument in overloaded package version
On Darwin Kernel Version 10.2.0 Perl v5.10.0 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level Module::Build 0.35 -------snip-------------- % perl Build.PL Checking whether your kit is complete... Looks good Checking prerequisites... Operation "bool": no method found, argument in overloaded package version at /Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0/Module/Build/Base.pm line 1302. -------snip-------------- If I run under the debugger, I get no error. That is, if I run: perl -d Build.PL and continue, it works.

By the way, I looked at https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=21496 Operation "eq": no method found and that ticket says they had a problem with File::Temp 0.16. I checked and we have File::temp 0.22

I notice that in Module/Build/Version.pm at lines 134-141 a number of operators are overloaded, including 'bool' which uses the vbool() sub defined in that file. So, I trued adding: use Module::Build::Version; to Module/Build/Base.pm and that seems to fix the problem. I'm only guessing here, there might be a deeper issue.

My mistake, adding 'use Module::Build::Version;' did not fix the problem.

Looks like it is the use of $^V in triggers a problem. If I add a warn() in Module::build::Base::perl_version() and use $^V in the message then it also triggers an error.

What version of version.pm do you have? If you upgrade version.pm, does the problem go away? If you upgrade Module::Build to 0.35_09, does it go away? The latter is DAGOLDEN/Module-Build-0.35_09.tar.gz on CPAN. Thank you, David

Yes - I upgraded to 0.78 and the problem went away. Show quoted text

I'll skip trying that in light of the upgrade of 'version' Thanks, and I wish I had realized the 'version' in "...overloaded package version ..." was a module. Curses on whoever decided to name it 'version' instead of 'Version' -M
