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

hi, i've got myself an installation problem:
flex# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Pod::Coverage' CPAN: Storable loaded ok .. <snip> .. Checking whether your kit is complete... Looks good Creating new 'Build' script for 'Pod-Coverage' version '0.13' Can't call method "find_perl_interpreter" on an undefined value at /us +r/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Module/Build/Compat.pm line 150. Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test Running make install Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install flex#
i understand the problem lies in Module::Build, but that one installed fine:
flex# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Module::Build' CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Wed, 11 Feb 2004 20:50:19 GMT Module::Build is up to date. flex#
i'm going through all this the trouble to install Bot::BasicBot ..
please help! perl version is 5.8.0, redhat 8.
thnx, ceesb at cs.kun.nl

    Just for completeness, this bug is documented on rt.cpan.org, so the author of Module::Build should be aware of it.

    hi,

    solved the problem by installing an older version (0.21) of Module-Build (current=0.23).
