Bug #55974 for Module-Install: FakeAdmin does not define

Subject:

FakeAdmin does not define

Hi, this is a Debian etch with a source build perl v5.8.8. When trying to install Module::Install, it won't create the Makefile. perl Makefile.PL Module::Install::Base::FakeAdmin does not define $Module::Install::Base::FakeAdmin::VERSION--version check failed at /usr/local/web21/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/version/vpp.pm line 402. I fixed it adding to the source of inc/Module/Install/Base.pm, line 61: package Module::Install::Base::FakeAdmin; use vars qw{$VERSION}; BEGIN { $VERSION = '0.95'; }

Hmm. I couldn't reproduce the issue. With which version of Module::Install and version.pm, and how (from CPAN, from downloaded tarball, etc) did you try to install? On 2010-3-26 Fri 10:38:06, FRANKIE wrote: Show quoted text

Sorry, I downloaded Module-Install 0.95. This was a really old installation. I had serious issues trying to update cpan modules in this host. All with modules using Module::Install. They complained like this: Module::Install::Base::FakeAdmin does not define $Module::Install::Base::FakeAdmin::VERSION--version check failed at /usr/local/web21/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/version/vpp.pm line 402. Finally I ended up installing Module-Install-0.54.tar.gz, then I was able to install the latest modules. I know it is hard to reproduce. Having it fixed in my host I am not able to reproduce it myself. Anyway I think adding $VERSION = 0.95; to package Module::Install::Base::FakeAdmin; won't do any harm.

OK. Added $VERSION to ::FakeAdmin in the trunk. Will be fixed in the next release. Thanks. On 2010-4-08 Thu 04:02:39, FRANKIE wrote: Show quoted text
