Hi, While trying to build DateTime-Locale, I keep getting a message saying that Params::Validate is not installed, but it is, most certainly. Is it possible that Params::Validate is not self-extracting itself to the right place? Another possibility is that DateTime-Locale is looking for Params-Validate-0.91, and is not realizing that Params-Validate-0.95 should be used instead. Is there any way to get around this? Thanks!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this, but it sounds like maybe you didn't actually _install_ Params::Validate. You can't just untar it somewhere, you have to go through the "perl Build.PL; ./Build install" bits. Show quoted text

No, that's not possible. Any version >= the minimum is sufficient. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/

Hi Dave, DateTime required many other modules, some of which used Build.PL and some of which used Makefile.PL... I am familiar with unzipping, untarring, and then running sudo perl Build.PL, ./Build. (or make, make test, make install for the Makefile) It works just fine for Params::Validate--the Build completes. It's only when all other modules are searching for it that they say it hasn't been installed. Thanks for your reply, K On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 8:40 AM, autarch@urth.org via RT < bug-Params-Validate@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

Don't do that. Use the CPAN shell, or perhaps Cpanminus. It will automatically follow deps for you and generally makes your life much easier. If you're on Windows, then use PPMs with ActiveState, or install Strawberry Perl, which includes a pre-configured CPAN shell. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/

Oh thank you, I never knew about this. I am on Ubuntu linux and always try to do things from the command line, but I'll give this a whirl next time I am installing a module. On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 9:20 AM, autarch@urth.org via RT < bug-Params-Validate@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text
