Subject: ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 1003 released
ActiveState is pleased to announce ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 1003
There's a minor nit with building modules on this build of perl. If
Math::BigInt::GMP is not installed, you'll get the following message every
time you run nmake/dmake:
Math::BigInt: couldn't load specified math lib(s), fallback to
Math::BigInt::FastCalc at C:/ap1003/lib/Win32API/File.pm line 20
Everything still works ok - it's just a little mystifying when you first see
it, that's all.
It's all because of this code in Win32API/File.pm (version 0.1001 only,
afaict):
# Math::BigInt optimizations courtesy of Tels
BEGIN {
require Math::BigInt;
if (defined($Math::BigInt::VERSION) $Math::BigInt::VERSION = 1.60) {
Math::BigInt-import(lib = 'GMP');
}
}
My other builds of perl 5.10.0 (and a recent 5.11.0 snapshot) have version
0.1001_01 which doesn't try to load Math::BigInt::GMP and therefore doesn't
throw up that message. I guess the simple solution is for ActiveState to
avoid version 0.1001 in future releases.
I see the problem has already been reported at
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Win32API-File (6 months
ago) and that future releases of Win32API-File will address this issue. I'm
not sure where version 0.1001_01 comes from, but I guess it is one such
future release.
I don't recall seeing the message with build 1002, so I'm guessing it used
version 0.1001_01 and that somehow version 0.1001 has found its way into
build 1003.
Cheers,
Rob

Re: Trouble installing Perl Module in cygwin
It doesn't like having the .cpan directory to have directory path with spaces. Notice how it is looking for /cygdrive/c/Documents, which is your path truncated at the first space, but not finding it. Perhaps the gurus here have a better solution, but what I would do is have your udk home directory (which contains .cpan) be somewhere else. For example on my system my cygwin home directory is: /cygwin/home/putch HTH Udaya K (udk) wrote: Hi, Can anyone please help in working out the following error.

RE: Trouble installing Perl Module in cygwin
Hi Michael, Thank you for your help and suggestions. I fixed them by enclosing the file parameter within ' in CPAN.pm That solved my problem.
