in reply to Exception::Lite not on CPAN?

Exception::Lite uses a null filename at line 2 which keeps the Makefile.PL from working properly. You can get around that with CPAN by doing this:
cpan> look ELISHEVA/Exception-Lite-0.999_004.tar.gz
CPAN will drop to a temporary directory, then do
perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install

    What do you mean by "null filename at line 2"?

      The require statement is broken.
