The latest update, version-0.9903, doesn't install on a Centos 6 box (it fails tests). Version 0.9902 works fine. I am running the opscode_centos-6.3_chef-11.2.0 virtual machine image from chef. I have attached the build log.

I am unable to reproduce this. Is version.pm already installed? What version?

Yes, version 0.77 of version.pm, which comes from the Centos package manager, is already installed.

Ah, it wasn't the earlier version.pm packaging that was the problem. It was that RedHat decided in their infinite wisdom to break up the core Perl into multiple package. The tests in 0.9903 rely on parent.pm being installed (instead of base.pm) for one of the inherited method tests. If you install perl-parent, the tests will pass. I'll make the Makefile.PL check for parent even for those Perl releases that should already have it; so much for being clever...
