( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Good question -- I don't know. I've abandoned PAR and I'm currently looking at Module::Dependency::Indexer as suggested by this node. It did mean I had to install a bunch of CPAN modules, and except for one pesky test that failed, the script at that location now compiles on my system.

  • I installed Module::Dependency::Indexer but it found that it needed GD, so I agreed with CPAN and said it could get that too.
  • CPAN asked me if libgd was installed in /usr/lib so I went and had a look and discovered that a) no it wasn't and b) I didn't have an RPM for that.
  • I downloaded and built libgd from here, and tried to continue the previous installation, but it failed.
  • Starting again, I tried to install Module::Dependency::Indexer but of course because of previous errors it failed, so I tried to install GD, but that failed too.
  • OK, so I had to do some cleanup, and I did a clean GD followed by a make GD, and that worked.
  • I had to do a clean Module::Dependency::Indexer and then make Module::Dependency::Indexer, test Module::Dependency::Indexer (this failed with #  t/03indexing.t line 36 is: ok( $i->{'depended_upon_by'}->2 eq 'c' );) and finally force install Module::Dependency::Indexer.
  • Are we there yet? No, because compiling the script also required Graph, and that required Heap.
  • Wait, there's still more, I also had to install Module::CoreList.

Well, that doesn't happen every day, but for someone new to the language (and the sub-culture), it must be a little daunting.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
