Bug #85801 for autodie: Autodie path issues on Perl 5.10.0 / Win32

Subject:

why do people want to use autodie .... (sigh)

Hi Paul, Tonight, I've struck a module (PDL::GSL::Randist) that wants to use autodie (for reasons that are beyond my understanding). No real problems with that, except that I had to install autodie on 5.10 as apparently, at that time, autodie was not part of core ... so I installed 2.19. However, that seems to have not been good enough - because now I get the following diagnostic during the running of the PDL::GSL::Randist test suite: <quote> The autodie pragma uses an updated version of Fatal to do its heavy lifting. We seem to have loaded Fatal version 1.05, which is probably the version that came with your version of Perl. However autodie needs version 2.19, which would have come bundled with autodie. </quote> Well .. yeah, that appears to be right. But it's not much good if Fatal-2.19 gets installed into $INC[1], leaving the crappy old version of Fatal that's in $INC[0] to be loaded anyway. Then again, I guess it's not your fault that 5.10 puts perl/lib ahead of perl/site/lib in @INC for perl-5.10 on Windows. I should, of course, file a bug report at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=PDL-GSL-Randist but that link just errors out .... :-( Cheers, Rob

Well, I'm glad to see autodie is doing its version checks correctly! Show quoted text

Unfortunately, that's the gotcha. Anything that puts perl/lib first is not going to let you upgrade any core module, which affects all dual-life modules, not just autodie. I'm guessing that upgrading to a more recent Perl isn't an option? If so, then that solves the problem with autodie, and *may* solve the path issue. Otherwise, if I had encountered this, I'd consider setting the PERL5LIB environment variable to include perl/site/lib. Since it gets searched *before* the standard paths in @INC, it should get perl to load installed modules before those bundled with perl. Paul

use INSTALLDIRS in Makefile.PL. INSTALLDIRS => ($] < 5.011) ? 'perl' : 'site', -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

Please could this get fixed? It is causing problems on cpantesters smoker systems, as anything that requires and upgrades autodie is finding the wrong version of Fatal.pm first and then failing to install.

In that case could the ticket be marked resolved? :D
