Subject: Can't install 0.47

I have a new perl installation on OS X Mountain Lion. The perl version 5.12.4. Quite interestingly, I cannot install Spreadsheet::Read 0.47. Within cpan, after typing "install Spreadsheet::Read", cpan reports: cpan[1]> install Spreadsheet::Read CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.22) CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v6.03) CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9719) Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.mirror.ac.za/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.84) Reading '/var/root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz' CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.024) ............................................................................DONE Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.mirror.ac.za/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz Reading '/var/root/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz' Database was generated on Sun, 20 Jan 2013 07:06:34 GMT ............................................................................DONE Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.mirror.ac.za/modules/03modlist.data.gz Reading '/var/root/.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz' ............................................................................DONE Writing /var/root/.cpan/Metadata Running install for module 'Spreadsheet::Read' Running make for H/HM/HMBRAND/Spreadsheet-Read-0.47.tgz Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.mirror.ac.za/authors/id/H/HM/HMBRAND/Spreadsheet-Read-0.47.tgz CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.47) Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.mirror.ac.za/authors/id/H/HM/HMBRAND/CHECKSUMS Checksum for /var/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/H/HM/HMBRAND/Spreadsheet-Read-0.47.tgz ok Scanning cache /var/root/.cpan/build for sizes DONE CPAN: File::Temp loaded ok (v0.22) CPAN: Parse::CPAN::Meta loaded ok (v1.4401) CPAN: CPAN::Meta loaded ok (v2.112621) CPAN.pm: Building H/HM/HMBRAND/Spreadsheet-Read-0.47.tgz Do you want to install 'xlscat' (Convert Spreadsheet to plain text or CSV) ?

Your really don't want these? I use xlscat and xls2csv quite often myself Show quoted text

There has been some contradiction in the META specs regarding optional features. I /think/ that you having installed (an older version of) CPAN::Meta causes there parse errors. Try upgrading CPAN::Meta and see if these problems persist: Spreadsheet-Read-0.47 > perl -MYAML -wE'say"YAML-$YAML::VERSION";$_=Load(join"",<>) and say"OK"' META.yml YAML-0.84 OK Spreadsheet-Read-0.47 > perl -MCPAN::Meta -wE'say"CPAN::Meta-$CPAN::Meta::VERSION";$_=CPAN::Meta->load_file("META.yml") and say"OK"' CPAN::Meta-2.120921 OK FWIW, I checked META.yml with the most recent versions of Test::CPAN::Meta::YAML::Version, CPAN::Meta::Converter, Parse::CPAN::Meta, and YAML::Syck before I released. -- H.Merijn Brand http://tux.nl Perl Monger http://amsterdam.pm.org/ using perl5.00307 .. 5.17 porting perl5 on HP-UX, AIX, and openSUSE http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/

This is interesting. I updated CPAN::Meta from 2.112621 to 2.120921 and tried to install version 0.47 (to replace 0.46) via cpan. No joy again. However, from CPAN I dropped into the filesystem (look Spreadsheet::Read) and noticed (as I should have yesterday) that the Makefile had been created anyway. So from there a make, make test and make install successfully installed version 0.47. I am still getting the errors from CPAN::Meta::Converter, but I'm not sure what is the problem; CPAN::Meta::Converter, my library base, or what, but Spreadsheet::Read 0.47 is now installed and at this point I don't have any need to dig deeper. Thanks for your help, and sharing your software!

Did you clear out the failed build (~/.cpan/build/Spreadsheet-Read*) before you tried? Show quoted text

So I can close the ticket as resolved, or do you want to pursue later? Show quoted text

Yes. I tried removing the cached source, as well as my entire .cpan directory. Show quoted text

Please close the ticket. If it installs for others, its probably some other issue! Show quoted text
