Re^7: CPAN.pm says module is up-to-date, but running it says XS code is not built.

Hi ikegami,

I'm sure it's because of lack of knowledge on my side. But starting with cpanm in combination with local::lib I do the following very often to test distributions and to get a feeling about the dependency tree resulting from installing these:

mkdir mylib
cpanm -v -L ./mylib Probably::Fat::Dist # yes, yes -v: I also like out
+put
perl -Mlocal::lib=./mylib -MProbably::Fat::Dist -E'say "Get feet wet w
+ith Probably::Fat::Dist"'
rm -rf ./mylib
[download]

I'm sure there is a way to do it with cpan, but I never learned it neither used it. Can you show an equivalent? (I'm really interested on systems without cpanm)

Regards
McA

Using local::lib causes problems because of its use of INSTALL_BASE. I never use it. That will be missing dependencies that are already installed, right? http://deps.cpantesters.org/ is your friend. Provides min versions too.	[reply]

Have you some more informations about this INSTALL_BASE thing? And, thank you for the link to this web page. McA	[reply]
