mpeters has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Side Note:This is similar to another question I asked here, but different version of Perl and different error message.

I have a newly installed Fedora 14 system that I'd like to install various perls on to test different modules. I've got 5.8.9 already and was trying to get the brand new 5.14.0: perlbrew install perl-5.14.1 That hums along until it fails with the following error:

Creating Makefile.PL in ext/attributes for attributes Running Makefile.PL in ext/attributes ../../miniperl -I../../lib Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=perl INSTALLMAN1DIR +=none INSTALLMAN3DIR=none PERL_CORE=1 LIBPERL_A=libperl.a Writing Makefile for attributes Writing MYMETA.yml make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mpeters/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5 +.14.0/ext/attributes' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mpeters/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5. +14.0/ext/attributes' Making all in ext/attributes make all PERL_CORE=1 LIBPERL_A=libperl.a make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mpeters/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5 +.14.0/ext/attributes' cp attributes.pm ../../lib/attributes.pm make[1]: *** No rule to make target `ExtUtils/xsubpp', needed by `attr +ibutes.c'.

Stop.

Any thoughts as to what I'm missing?

    You forgot to eliminate the middleman, perlbrew
