Can't locate object method "new" via package "Test::Reporter"
Does anyone know what could cause this error to happen, and how I can fix it? CPAN::Reporter: preparing a CPAN Testers report for Expect-1.21 Catching error: "Can't locate object method \"new\" via package \"Test::Reporter\" at /boot/home/config/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/CPAN/Reporter.pm line 423.\cJ" at /boot/home/config/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CPAN.pm line 391 CPAN::shell() called at -e line 1 I have reinstalled Mail::Send, Test::Reporter, CPAN and CPAN::Reporter, done "reload CPAN", "o conf init test_report" but all to no avail. None of the packages reported an error on installation. This is on BeOS version 5 on the x86. -Nigel

What happens if you try loading it from the command line: $ perl5.8.8 -MTest::Reporter -we '$tr = Test::Reporter->new()' -- David On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 6:49 AM, Nigel Horne wrote: > Does anyone know what could cause this error to happen, and how I can fix > it? > > CPAN::Reporter: preparing a CPAN Testers report for Expect-1.21 > Catching error: "Can't locate object method \"new\" via package > \"Test::Reporter\" at > /boot/home/config/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/CPAN/Reporter.pm line 423.\cJ" > at /boot/home/config/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CPAN.pm line 391 > CPAN::shell() called at -e line 1 > > I have reinstalled Mail::Send, Test::Reporter, CPAN and CPAN::Reporter, done > "reload CPAN", "o conf init test_report" but all to no avail.

Now I can see what's going wrong (though it's a pity that CPAN hid this error message. Now, any ideas how to fix this? $ perl -MTest::Reporter -we '$tr = Test::Reporter->new()' Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default.

Re: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Test::Reporter"
I've found one problem, which isn't the one mentioned, but needs fixing anyway: IO::Socket gives this error on BeOS: "Your vendor has not defined Socket macro AF_UNIX, used at /boot/home/config/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BePC-beos/IO/Socket/UNIX.pm line 18" The fix is in IO/Socket.pm at line 22. Old code: require IO::Socket::UNIX if ($^O ne 'epoc' && $^O ne 'symbian'); New code: require IO::Socket::UNIX if ($^O ne 'epoc' && $^O ne 'symbian' && $^O ne 'beos'); I've raised this as bug 53837 against IO::Socket. -Nigel
Re: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Test::Reporter"
If you make that fix, does the one-liner with Test::Reporter work?

Re: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Test::Reporter"
A *HACK* fix is to modify .../lib/perl5/5.8.8/BePC-beos/IO/Socket/INET.pm commenting out line 25 thus: my %socket_type = ( tcp => SOCK_STREAM, udp => SOCK_DGRAM # icmp => SOCK_RAW ); I'd like a proper fix, but at least I now get Test::Reporter loading. Now doubt it will break more than just Ping stuff. Any advice on a proper fix would be gratefully received. Now to sort out IO::Socket's assumption that all environments provide getprotobyname() -Nigel
Re: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Test::Reporter"
I belie I have Test::Reporter loading: $ perl -MTest::Reporter -we '$tr = Test::Reporter->new()' Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default. Name "main::tr" used only once: possible typo at -e line 1. $ [ Thanks David for the suggestion on how to test it loads. ] To get it to load on BeOS you need to apply the fixes I've suggested for RT bugs 53837, 53838 and 53839. I suspect I'm still some way from getting a smoker on BeOS, but I am making progress. The next thing is to find out why I'm getting "Unable to connect to any MX's" in .../lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Test/Reporter/Transport/Net/SMTP.pm -Nigel
