Alien::Libevent syntax error at inc/Devel/CheckLib.pm line 164

I'm not sure how I made my cpanm so chatty with all the warnings... but here is the output of cpanm Alien::Libevent. I know that it works on OSX, as I just passed Alien::Gearman. you can look past the additional warnings hopefully... first error is: syntax error at inc/Devel/CheckLib.pm line 164, near "$mm_attr_key qw(LIBS INC)" Thanks for any suggestions to make this work in windows! --dave ----- Useless use of /d modifier in transliteration operator at /loader/0x48f660/App/cpanminus/script.pm line 1.

You should reinstall YAML::Mo and the things generated with it. background starts here: http://blogs.perl.org/users/ovid/2012/04/the-price-of-cleverness-yaml-is-not-safe.html

hrm. well that may explain it as I am failing YAML install, which may be a prereq for YAML::Mo, I never see YAML::Mo, just these dynamic test failures which I am unsure how to resolve. I need to figure out how to resolve them....I appreciate your feedback, time, and attention. --dave ===== i can attach full output if you are interested, my cpan client is very verbose for some reason; i fail to remember what I did to make it so ==== Subroutine Spiffy::boolean_arguments redefined at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Spiffy.pm line 61.

The bundled Devel::CheckLib is too old for newer perls (5.18 and newer). What you can do is: * install Devel::CheckLib * just extract the Alien::Libevent distribution, and remove the inc/ directory completely, and then proceed manually (perl Makefile.PL && make all test install)

Hello, I updated the code of the module to fix this and pushed on my personal github repo : https://github.com/thibaultduponchelle/Alien-Libevent The repository pointed by the CPAN readme seems to have disappeared : https://github.com/plu/alien-libevent/ Could you please consider updating this module to fix the failed build that you see for instance here : https://github.com/thibaultduponchelle/aliens-ci/runs/645922791?check_suite_focus=true Or tell me if I need to attach a patch in RT ? Best regards Thibault
