Subject: problems installing Geo::PostalCode::NoBD
Date: Mon, 28 May 2012 07:51:39 -0700

From: steve <sjs [...] sonic.net>
Hi. I just tried installing Geo-PostalCode-NoDB-0.01 and it looks like the package has a problem. I first tried using perl -MCPAN -e shell and then downloaded the module, unpacked it and tried to build by hand. Both processes gave the same result. perl Makefile.pl works fine make fails as: ~/Geo-PostalCode-NoDB-0.01# make /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" ._Makefile.PL ._Makefile Unrecognized character \x05; marked by <-- HERE after <-- HERE near column 2 at ._Makefile.PL line 1. make: *** [._Makefile] Error 255 When I run file on t._Makefile.PL it says: sjs@hikari:~/Geo-PostalCode-NoDB-0.01# file ._Makefile.PL ._Makefile.PL: AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. Is this an apple-only module or something? Do I have to do something special to build it? Thank you Steven Smith

Problem is that the tarball contains hidden MacOSX-specific files, which are causing failures on all systems but MacOSX. Repackaging the distribution with recent ExtUtils::MakeMaker should fix the problem. Regards, Slaven
