Installation fails despite depndenices are already installed

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

Hello I am attempting to install The Bio:DB:HTS moudle.
After cloning the Bio:DB:HTS github repository I have attempted to install required dependencies using:

 
sudo cpanm --installdeps --force ./BioDBHTS/
[download]

I then get the following error message:

"Installing the dependencies failed: Installed version (0.4003) of Mod
+ule::Build is not in range '0.42'"
[download]

However cpan -D Module::Build yields:

Module::Build 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+--- 
(no description) 
    L/LE/LEONT/Module-Build-0.4224.tar.gz 
    /home/sal/perl5/lib/perl5/Module/Build.pm 
    Installed: 0.4224 
    CPAN:      0.4224  up to date 
    Leon Timmermans (LEONT) 
    fawaka@gmail.com
[download]

From which I understand the Module::Build version 0.4224 and not 0.4003 is installed.
If someone can explain to me this error message and how to proceed with installing the dependencies I will be very grateful.

Maybe the `perl` that your super user runs is a different `perl` from what your user (`sal`) runs? `which perl perl -V` [download] and `sudo which perl sudo perl -V` [download] ... should give different output in that case. Update: Duh - it's right in your post: `/home/sal/perl5/lib/perl5/Module/Build.pm` [download] This means that you installed Module::Build locally for user `sal`, but `sudo cpanm ...` likely doesn't see `/home/sal/...` in its search path. I think you should install BioDBHTS the same way you installed Module::Build. Most likely simply by not using `sudo` but using plain `cpanm`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

which perl
perl -V
[download]

and

sudo which perl
sudo perl -V
[download]

... should give different output in that case.

Update: Duh - it's right in your post:

/home/sal/perl5/lib/perl5/Module/Build.pm
[download]

This means that you installed Module::Build locally for user sal, but sudo cpanm ... likely doesn't see /home/sal/... in its search path.

I think you should install BioDBHTS the same way you installed Module::Build. Most likely simply by not using sudo but using plain cpanm.
