| Subject: | CPANPLUS stopped working - multiple issues |
I'm not sure what prereqs I might have changed that have caused CPANPLUS to fail. (I did upgrade Cwd and File::Spec, but I don't think those are related to the bug, since downgrading does not seem to have fixed the problem.)
Now when I specify a module to test or install:
t Some-Module-Name-1.23
It cannot find the module. For example:
CPAN Terminal> t Digest-SHA-5.03
Trying to get /pub/CPAN/authors/id/J/JC/JCDUQUE/Digest-SHA-5.03.tar.gz from mirrors.kernel.org via ftp
Fetch failed! HTTP response code: 404 [Not Found] in CPANPLUS::Internals::Fetch::_lwp_get at Sat Jul 31 15:43:45 2004 at C:/Perl/site/lib/CPANPLUS/Internals/Fetch.pm line 351
it cannot find the module after trying all mirrors I have specified.
For some modules, it works. Like File::Spec.
For others, it cannot find them.
But I can give an exact URL as a parameter to 'i' or 't' commands:
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MS/MSHELOR/Digest-SHA-5.03.tar.gz
I have re-run the configuration utility, but to no avail. It's still broken.
I tried reinstalling from within CPANPLUS, but the tests fail. See
<http://www.mail-archive.com/cpan-testers%40perl.org/msg134513.html>
However, re-running install from command line now works:
t/0-signature.........ok
t/1-basic.............ok
t/3-backend...........ok 65/73# Connecting to testers.cpan.org; this may take a
while
t/3-backend...........ok
6/73 skipped: won't write to disk
t/CPANPLUS-Backend....ok
t/CPANPLUS............ok
All tests successful, 6 subtests skipped.
Files=5, Tests=121, 39 wallclock secs ( 0.00 cusr + 0.00 csys = 0.00 CPU)
What gives?
