Subject: every CPAN package fails for me in CPAN::Meta::Converter, always at line 358 (add_string_requirement)
I am not sure where else to report this as google seems to tell me I'm the only one who has this problem. The CPAN::Meta packages were installed on my system directly from the Linux distribution, they are part of the distributions "perl" package (i.e. not installed separately). Whenever I try to install (or upgrade) any CPAN package, I get the same error on each and every single one. It is as follows: Can't locate object method "add_string_requirement" via package "CPAN::Meta::Requirements" at /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/CPAN/Meta/Converter.pm line 358. at /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/ExtUtils/MM_Any.pm line 824. Can't locate object method "add_string_requirement" via package "CPAN::Meta::Requirements" at /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/CPAN/Meta/Converter.pm line 358. all these files (i.e. the requirements as well as the extutils thing) are part of the main perl package on my system, and I've already re-installed that to make sure all the files are OK. Can anyone tell me what is broken on my system and how to fix it? perl -v says This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 2 (v5.16.2) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi uname -a says Linux xxxx 3.0.51-1-lts #1 SMP Mon Nov 5 11:54:31 CET 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux Linux Distribution used is ARCH (and is current as of today, error has been occuring since at least two months now).

At some point, CPAN::Meta::Requirements was split out of the CPAN::Meta distribution. Perhaps your distro upgraded CPAN::Meta but didn't upgrade CPAN::Meta::Requirements as well. -- David Golden <dagolden@cpan.org> Take back your inbox! → http://www.bunchmail.com/ Twitter/IRC: @xdg
