continuing to play with the cygwin64 perl blead that I built on Aug-12th. I mentioned the strange infinite loop in the questioning of gpg tool; haven't had time to research why that happened, yet. I'm trying to get basic reporting facilities up, as I have yet to report a single cygwin report. All of my testing is failing within configure so force does not help and of course they don't get reported.
As I mentioned before I have to be cognizant of the environment variables shared with my windows strawberry perl. This means at first I was tried all these options with PERL_YAML_BACKEND and PERL_JSON_BACKEND set...which didn't work. So I've also tried unsetting them, ensuring they were not in env/set output, and trying to install again. It appears that PERL_YAML_BACKEND defaults to YAML when no value is set. the issue it seems resides within: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.21.3/CPAN/Meta.pm $backend = Parse::CPAN::Meta->yaml_backend(); $data = eval { no strict 'refs'; &{"$backend\::Dump"}($struct) }; if ( $@ ) { croak $backend->can('errstr') ? $backend->errstr : $@ } # running Build.PL Could not load PERL_YAML_BACKEND 'YAML' at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.21.3/CPAN/Meta.pm line 613. I've tried forcing installing YAML::XS, YAML, YAML::Tiny, YAML::Old, JSON::XS, JSON They all give me a similar error about the backend not being there; what am I missing? Do I need to be bootstrapping these files manually? Shouldn't a basic backend support for YAML/JSON come out of the box with perl blead? I appreciate any help/guidance.
