Thanks for the report. If you could look into further and supply a patch, it would be appreciated. Since the tests pass for everyone else, this looks like something specific to your environment: http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=CGI-Application-Dispatch+2.17 Try upgrading Module::Build, for instance.

Hi Folks I have hit exactly the same install problem on a Debian Lenny virtual server. I also have Module::Build V0.3607 which is the latest CPAN release. Cheers Norman Buskell

Any further investigation you could do would be helpful. It's very difficult to diagnosis it from there, when we can't reproduce it. I suspect there is something else that needs to be upgraded. Consider that all the CPAN tester results are reporting a "green" status. I think those automated test machines tend to use the latest versions of all modules. If we find out what the problematic module is, we can require a later version in our Build.PL file. Thanks for the help! Mark

I believe this might be related to an older version of the 'version' module. I ran into the same error and updated 'version' ('install version' at the cpan prompt), it installed a new version, and the error went away. I'm running perl 5.10 on Mac OS X, 10.6.4.

Thanks for the help. I've uploaded 2.18 this morning which requires a newer version of 'version'. We'll see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, will hopefully cause little harm. ( It might, in fact cause a bit of harm because 'version' by default will install an XS version, which some people might want to avoid. )

Hi Folks Upgrading to version.pm 0.82 fixed the installation on my Debian Lenny virtual machine. I also managed to install CGI::Application::Dispatch 2.17 on another Debian Lenny box using Module::Build 0.35 and version.pm 0.74. I think the problem is related to "Bug #59154 for Module-Build conflict with version.pm" which was was introduced with Module::Build 0.3607. Cheers Norman

Dear all, same here. Upgrading version.pm to 0.88 and CGI::Application::Dispatch installs fine. May we add this as a prerequisite to Build.PL to eradicate this (possible) bug? hth, Alex

btw. the old version.pm was 0.74 with perl, v5.10.0 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level.

I'll work on this. (The notes above indicate that I thought I already uploaded 2.18 with this fix. I'll see what went wrong).

New release today should address this. Thanks all for the input on it.
