I am trying to run the bioperl-live package and I have git-cloned the following repo

git clone https://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-live.git

and cd'd into bio-perl live where it was installed. I have then tried to run:

perl Build.PL

to which I get back:

Checking prerequisites...
      build_requires:
        !  Test::Most is not installed

[download]

so I have opened up a cpan shell and when i run from cpan:

cpan>install Test::Most

and repeat the build I get the same error. Would anyone mind cloning the above git repo ( found at https://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-live if you want to check yourself) and let me know if you are encountering the same problem. note this doesn't happen for other Build.PL files in other packages - it runs fine. there must be something in that git repo that's corrupt/missing.

Thanks update - when I run perl -wle 'use Test::Most' I get: 
Can't locate Test/Most.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/arron/src/biop
+erl-live /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.12.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5

+erl/5.12 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at -e line 1.

Also configuring cpan to install as root and then installing Test::Most makes no difference. such a fuss!

In reply to Build.PL wont run in git repo by brucezepplin
