Re: CPAN failing to install PAR::Package

in reply to CPAN failing to install PAR::Package

What's going on here?

Installing C:UsersU0159691perl5\lib\perl5\Module\ScanDeps.pm
Installing C:UsersU0159691perl5\lib\perl5\Module\ScanDeps\Cache.pm
Installing C:UsersU0159691perl5\lib\perl5\Module\ScanDeps\DataFeed.pm
Installing C:UsersU0159691perl5\bin\scandeps.bat
Installing C:UsersU0159691perl5\bin\scandeps.pl
[download]

Is the output / post just mangled, or is it really trying to install to those bad pathnames? Can you check if those files exist?

Also, what does perl -MModule::ScanDeps or perl -MGetopt::ArgvFile say?

Interesting... It is apparently installing them somewhere it can't find... Here's the output from your suggested commands: D:\>perl -MModule::ScanDeps Can't locate Module/ScanDeps.pm in @INC (you may need to install the M +odule::ScanDeps module) (@INC contains: D:/strawberry/perl/site/lib D +:/strawberr y/perl/vendor/lib D:/strawberry/perl/lib .). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. D:\>perl -MModule::ScanDeps Can't locate Module/ScanDeps.pm in @INC (you may need to install the M +odule::ScanDeps module) (@INC contains: D:/strawberry/perl/site/lib D +:/strawberr y/perl/vendor/lib D:/strawberry/perl/lib .). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. [download] I can see folders for Getopt-ArgvFile-1.11 and Module-ScanDeps-1.13, along with Path-Class-0.33, at C:\Users\U0159691\perl5\lib\perl5\MSWin32-x64-multi-thread\.meta. The post is copied directly from the build log. I don't see any directories called UsersU0159691perl5 on my C: drive. Does Strawberry or CPAN keep local install locations in a file I can access, to check if the paths are correct?	[reply] [d/l]

Do you have two Perls installed on your machine? Since the output says `@INC` is `D:/strawberry/perl/site/lib D:/strawberry/perl/vendor/lib D:/strawberry/perl/lib`, while `cpanm` is attempting to install to `C:\Users\U0159691\perl5\`. Which Perl installation are you actually using? Try uninstalling the other. Have you tried using regular `cpan` instead of `cpanm`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Not long ago I updated Strawberry from 5.14 to 5.18; I uninstalled the old version first, but it's possible some things got left behind. As far as I can tell, I only have one version of Perl installed. I removed the perl5 folder before reinstalling 5.18, just prior to positing my question. Control Panel lists only one. I can only infer that the perl5 folder was installed along with Strawberry. Do you know if there is an insurgent program available to completely clean all Perl versions from a machine? Running cpan rather than cpanm results in a large number of failed tests Read more... (22 kB) Thank you for the suggestions, though.	[reply] [d/l]
