| Subject: | Module will not install in Strawberry Perl +patch |
Hi
When installing XML::Atom in Strawberry Perl v5.12.3 on Windows 7, the
installation fails at test 31 with a invalid URI message.
I've rated this as critical as this bug stops XML::Atom from installing
on Windows, and therefore stops upstream modules in CAPN from
installing on Windows as well (Such as Net::Google::Calendar).
The problem appears to be that in test 31, which uses the test code 31-
external-entities-libxml.t, the file URI is obtained by the module
FileBin. But the file URI that is provided by FindBin includes the
Windows Drive letter syntax and a reversed directory seperatorIn my
case this results in C:/ being included in the path that the FindBin
modules returns. Which then chokes with
t/31-external-entities-libxml.t .. :3: parser error : Invalid URI:
file://C:/st
awberry/cpan/build/XML-Atom-0.39-hGqzUB/t/samples/entry-ns.xml
EM "file://C:/strawberry/cpan/build/XML-Atom-0.39-
hGqzUB/t/samples/entry-ns.xml
^
:20: parser error : Entity 'ref' failed to parse
<content type="text/html" xml:lang="en-us">&ref;
^
# Looks like your test exited with 255 before it could output anything.
t/31-external-entities-libxml.t .. Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat
65280, 0xf
00)
Failed 4/4 subtests
Adding in the substitution regex below , after the my declaration of
$filepath, strips out the c:/ and test 31 passes and the module
installs.
$filepath =~ s/\w\:\///;
