Failing to Install File::Copy::Recursive

sannag has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have been trying to install File::Copy::Recursive (actually trying to install DateTime module but it complains about not having File::Copy::Recursive) I am getting following errors. Any idea what is going on? Thank you in advance for your wisdom

    File::Copy::Recursive, version 0.40, was uploaded almost 2 weeks ago, but there seem to be no CPAN tester results available for this version. That is mysterious and probably indicates a bigger problem. Also, there have been 2 bug reports filed against this version.

    Perhaps you can try installing the pervious version (0.39). There are CPAN Tester results for that, but be aware that there are many failing tests on some OS's.

      Thank you!. I tried to install first 0.39 and then 0.38 get error saying they are not available. Kind of in a fix on what to do about it since I need the module for DateTime

        Unfortunately all the older versions have been relegated to BackPAN. You can however retrieve it directly from (eg) here.

Re: Failing to Install File::Copy::Recursive

    "...what is going on..."

    No idea. But i just (2h ago or so) had success with v5.24.1 for DateTime-1.45 and File::Copy::Recursive 0.40 with cpanm DateTime on my Mac.

      hmm interesting I tried again and it failed to install File::Copy::Recursive with same errors. The error are same as mentioned on bug report. I am installing on RHEL 7.2. I wonder if this OS specific. Either way it is frustrating.

        I wonder if this OS specific

        It's the same failures for me on Windows 7 for perls 5.16.0, 5.27.6 and 5.27.8 - and probably all perl versions in between, though that is untested.

        CORRECTION: Whilst it's the same test file that's failing, the actual failure is quite different on Windows: 
        > perl -Mblib t/01.legacy.t

        Perhaps it's "OS specific" in that it works only on some versions of MacOS ;-)

        But the best thing you can do is (as already suggested) to download either version 0.38 or version 0.39, unpack the tar.gz, 'cd' to the top-level folder, and run (in sequence) 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make test' and 'make install'.

        I suggest grabbing 0.38 as I know that 0.38 works fine for me. I haven't tried 0.39.

        The second best thing you can do is to just force installation of the module ( cpan -fi File::Copy::Recursive). For all we know it might just be a bug in the new, more extensive, 0.40 test suite. The 0.38 test suite tested only that the module was loadable.
        I doubt that the DateTime module really has any use for File::Copy::Recursive, so even if there are bugs in File-Copy-Recursive-0.40 functionality, I would think they are unlikely to affect the workings of DateTime.
        And File::Copy::Recursive can always be overridden with a newer version if need be.

        Cheers,
        Rob
