I just got a strange bug report on Inline::CPP, and don't see what the issue is. This is against the current version, v0.39.
Here's the report: ---------------------------- I tried to install Inline::Cpp into Strawberry perl running under Windows XP (32 bit) but the build.log records FAIL: cpanm (App::cpanminus) 1.5013 on perl 5.014002 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread Work directory is /.cpanm/work/1344884468.1676 You have make C:\Dwimperl\c\bin\dmake.exe You have LWP 6.03 Falling back to Archive::Tar 1.80 Searching Inline::CPP on cpanmetadb ... --> Working on Inline::CPP Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DA/DAVIDO/Inline-CPP-0.39.tar.gz -> OK Unpacking Inline-CPP-0.39.tar.gz Entering . META.yml not found or unparsable. Fetching META.yml from search.cpan.org Configuring Inline-CPP-0.39 -> N/A -> FAIL The distribution doesn't have a proper Makefile.PL/Build.PL See \.cpanm\build.log for details. Any ideas on what I can do to install it ?? ------------------------------- To investigate, I attempted "cpanm Inline::CPP --reinstall", and got the following different message: $ cpanm Inline::CPP --reinstall --> Working on Inline::CPP Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DA/DAVIDO/Inline-CPP-0.39.tar.gz ... OK ! Bad archive: Inline-CPP-0.39.tar.gz ! Failed to unpack Inline-CPP-0.39.tar.gz: no directory ! Failed to fetch distribution Inline-CPP-0.39 Yet if I download the tarball myself (the link above works fine, for example), and unpack it with 'tar -zxf Inline-CPP-0.39-tar.gz', it unpacks fine into ./Inline-CPP-0.39, and from there I'm able to perform the mantra without any problems. Also, if I remove the module from my system and then install it via the 'cpan' tool (instead of cpan minus), it works: cpan Inline::CPP ...works fine. Any thoughts? Can anyone confirm the behavior? -- David Oswald daosw...@gmail.com
