I could imagine you didn't use CPAN.pm 1.90, right?
For sure. I was testing that a "fresh" 5.8.8 could install it without
error. I use this to help suss out undeclared prerequisites. I have
the same environment for all of 5.6.2/5.8.1->5.8.8/5.9.5 under
non-/threaded, non-/debugging. While I did it manually today, I've got
a harness over it all so I can essentially just request that *all*
those perls attempt to go install a CPAN module of my choice (or a
local distribution) and I get TAP back about which perls passed and
failed.
# for a single perl and what happened last night
cd /opt
rm -rf perl-5.8.8/*
tar xjf perl-5.8.8.tar.bz2 # a fresh 5.8.8 but with updated CPAN::Config
/opt/perl-5.8.8/bin/cpan Catalyst < /dev/null
