Thanks for your report. We'll need some more information to be able to help. * Could you tell us what you were doing at the time? * Could you show us the complete log of what you were doing at the time? * Could you look at /opt/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm and see what $VERSION is? Something like "$VERSION = '1.54'". * Please tell us what line 94 is.

I just tried it again and now it works. What does the message mean?

It means something is trying to use an array as a hash, usually internally. It's usually a Perl bug having to do with Carp in older versions of Perl, but I can't be sure without knowing what line 94 is in your /opt/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm

It's: my(%from_to) = %$from_to;

Just hit this error myself. Makefile (created by MM v6.56) contains: MOD_INSTALL = $(ABSPERLRUN) -MExtUtils::Install -e "install([ from_to => {@ARGV}, verbose => '$(VERBINST)', uninstall_shadows => '$(UNINST)', dir_mode => '$(PERM_DIR)' ]);" -- ExtUtils\Install.pm (v1.33) contains: sub install { my($from_to,$verbose,$nonono,$inc_uninstall) = @_; ... my(%from_to) = %$from_to; Obviously these are incompatible. The obvious workaround for the user is to keep ExtUtils::MakeMaker and ExtUtils::Install in step, i.e. upgrade ExtUtil::Install. Hope that helps. Sam

EUMM bundles the correct ExtUtils::Install it requires. This issue should be resolved with recent releases.
