Greetings, Excerpts from Mark Tompsett's message of 2017-09-05 03:57:06 +0000: > Can you explain what this module is used for in Koha?
Can't remember. I haven't looked again. -- Nope, wait here it is: mtompset@debian:~/kohaclone$ git grep "WebService::ILS" C4/Installer/PerlDependencies.pm: 'WebService::ILS' => { Koha/ExternalContent/OverDrive.pm:use WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron; Koha/ExternalContent/OverDrive.pm:A (very) thin wrapper around C<WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron> Koha/ExternalContent/OverDrive.pm: $self->client( WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron->new( Koha/ExternalContent/OverDrive.pm:=head1 L<WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron> METHODS misc/release_notes/release_notes_17_05_00.html:<li><a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18243">[18243]</a> Bug 16034 follow-up: better handling of absence of WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron at testing</li> misc/release_notes/release_notes_17_05_00.md:- [[18243]](http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18243) Bug 16034 follow-up: better handling of absence of WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron at testing t/00-load.t: @needed_module_names = ( 'WebService::ILS' ); t/Koha_ExternalContent_OverDrive.t: skip "cannot find WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron", 5 t/Koha_ExternalContent_OverDrive.t: unless can_load( modules => { 'WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron' => undef } ); OverDrive. If you don't use OverDrive, then you will not have any issues. If you do, then you may. It was asked: > On my test VM, I installed it using 'cpan -i WebService::ILS'. > Is there any reason why this method isn't mentioned on this page? > https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/How_to_install_missing_Perl_modules_on_Debian It is mentioned. It's the last one. The major problem with cpan'ing your modules is that if you cpan them, and then a newer version comes out with a fix/enhancement, the search paths used by Perl will more likely find your CPAN'd versions rather than the DEB'd versions. This is why cpan2deb (or the 3rd suggestion) is what I tend to do if the first 2 ways don't work.
