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

I tried to install PPerl from cpanm but cpanm says not found
Next I tried to install it using cpan
Test Summary Report ------------------- t/06exit_die.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 8 Failed: 2) Failed tests: 6, 8 t/09taint.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 1 Failed: 1) Failed test: 1 t/10tie.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 10 Failed: 10) Failed tests: 1-10 t/13pid.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 4 Failed: 3) Failed tests: 2-4 Files=21, Tests=292, 31 wallclock secs ( 1.02 usr 0.23 sys + 14.76 cu +sr 2.43 csys = 18.44 CPU) Result: FAIL Failed 4/21 test programs. 16/292 subtests failed.

This is what happened.
I tried to install using cpan --force
but when I execute compiled executable pperl
it spits segmentation fault.
And this module doesn't seem to be maintained anymore
Are there alternatives?

    The bug tracker mentions Bug 56122, which might be the cause for your problems too. You should be able to diagnose whether that is the case by running the tests in isolation:

    cpan CPAN>look PPerl $ perl Makefile.PL ... $ make test ...

    If so, the new warnigns can be ignored or the code easily fixed by yourself.

    When installing modules, always check the open bugs. Reports may have associated patches which are pertinent to your problem. This module has not had an update in 11 years.
