That sounds weird - do you mean the actual version.pm, or M::B::Version.pm ? M::B doesn't install the former. I mean version.pm. In version.pm's Build.PL the function have_c_compiler() is used to decide whether the version.pm's XS part should be built and installed or not. Unfortunately have_c_compiler() does not only check if a C compiler is available, it also checks if ExtUtils::CBuilder is already installed. My assumption is that in the smoker run version.pm was installed twice, first time without ExtUtils::CBuilder available (and hence installed into the arch-independent location) and the 2nd time with ExtUtils::CBuilder installed in the meantime. It makes me somewhat nervous to know that modules gets installed at different locations (site vs. core, or arch-dependent vs. arch-independent). One never knows which location will win.

David, do you have a write-up from the procedure you used on this last time? http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.qa/2008/09/msg11418.html 1 build a new perl sh Configure -Dprefix=$HOME/mbtestperl -de (IIRC I didn't bother with any combinations of threads, 64bit-ness etc, as those shouldn't affect M::B itself) 2 install the official version of M::B and CPAN::Reporter 3 take a backup in a tarball; also backup ~/.cpanreporter/reports-sent.db 4 delete ~/.cpanreporter/reports-sent.db, disable all email sending, 5 configure C::R to never ever need manual intervention 6 test a bunch of modules for i in `cat list_of_modules`; do path_to_perl/bin/perl -MCPAN -e install qw($i) done 7 move the new ~/.cpanreporter/reports-sent.db aside 8 delete that perl, restore from the tarball (this gets rid of any cruft left over from the previous round of testing) 9 install the dev version of M::B 10 repeat step 6 11 send Eric the old reports-sent.db and the new one generated in step 10 Or you can do the two test runs in parallel with two identical (apart from -Dprefix) builds of perl, if you set PERL_CPAN_REPORTERDIR differently in the environment for the two smokers. Hopefully I'll have the time to do all this myself in the few days before Christmas, but I'm sure it would be a good idea for at least one other person to do it. -- David Cantrell | Enforcer, South London Linguistic Massive What a lovely day! Now watch me spoil it for you.
