Trouble installing a module that uses Module::Install on Active Perl 5.8.8by holli (Abbot) |

holli has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm currently installing a bunch of modules on a fresh Perl 5.8.8 (under Win XP). Some of them (Catalyst, YAML) crash while creating the Makefile. The modules use Module::Install in the Makefile.pl. I'm not sure where to start looking. Is this a bug in Module::Install? Update: I have traced the problem a little bit further. In ActivePerl::Config the function find_prog gets called in various places. find_prog is correctly imported from ActiveState::Path: and correctly exported in ActiveState::Path: Nonetheless find_prog cannot be found. I have replaced all the calls to find_prog with calls to ActiveState::Path::find_prog and then it works. So it looks as if the Export does not work correctly. The question remains: Why? holli, /regexed monk/
