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

Hi monks!

Have a problem with IO::Socket::SSL on my Raspberry Pi. After I enter

sudo cpanm IO::Socket::SSL

It takes it quite a lot to think. But finally it returns me an error that installation failed.

With sudo cat /root/.cpanm/build.log in the end of log I can see:

I am trying to make a simple e-mail notifier with Mail::IMAPClient, IO::Socket::SSL and Device::BCM2835{the last one is used to interact with GPIO}

Seeking for advice how to solve the problem with module installation{would it be right, for example, to force installation via "cpan" instead of cpanminus?}or artelnatives to it.

With respect, Artimius.

`FAIL Installing IO::Socket::SSL failed. See /root/.cpanm/build.log for + details.` [download] So, what does `/root/.cpanm/build.log` say about `t/nonblock.t` failing? How does that test fail?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

look a little bit more carefully at what I cat before:) It is this file itself!	[reply]
Re^3: IO::Socket::SSL and raspberry by Corion (Patriarch) on Jul 24, 2015 at 15:53 UTC
Yes, but what you posted only shows the summary, not how the test failed. If there is no further informaion in the log about how the test failed, run the test manually: `cpanm --look IO::Socket::SSL perl Makefile.PL make make test perl -Mblib -w t/nonblock.t` [download] Maybe the test output tells you an easy reason why it failed.

Hi Artimus, I see that Corion likely identified the bug you ran into in this node Re^7: IO::Socket::SSL and raspberry. I just wanted to offer one more datapoint. IO::Socket::SSL installed fine on my raspberry pi. I have the following setup: Model B Revision 2.0, 512 MB (Hardware Revision: 000e). Raspbian Weezy, with most up-to-date versions of openssl and libssl-dev installed perl 5.20.1, installed with perlbrew and compiled with -Dusethreads Installed IO::Socket::SSL using cpanm This thread made me realize that I had not played around with my pi for a while. I think I'll start tinkering with it again.	[reply]

I have my Pi B+... it is raspbian Two mistakes "multiple write attempt" shown by tests that are stopping installation. It happens to have not cutting-edge hardware))	[reply]

It might be that your system is way slower as expected and thus runs into unexpected conditions or that some other issues make the tests for non-blocking fail. Since these care only about the behavior of non-blocking sockets you might simply force the install, at least unless your program depends on fully working non-blocking behavior.	[reply]
