in thread New Module Announcement: Object::InsideOut

The problem comes from can_cc() using the 'cc' value in Config. Thus, the bug is in Module::Install - in inc/Module/Install/Can.pm. It needs to accommodate ExtUtils::FakeConfig, replacing "use Config;" with: 
eval { require Config_m; };     # ExtUtils::FakeConfig (+ ActivePerl)
if ($@) {
    eval { require Config; };   # Everyone else
}

Then on your end, you'd need to install and configure ExtUtils::FakeConfig to have the correct 'cc' entry.

Or you could just edit your Config.pm, and change the 'cc' entry to something that works.


Remember: There's always one more bug.

    Thanks for the follow up.

    However, I'm not sure that editting Config.pm is going to do it, as it already appears to be correct.

    And, without making any pretence to understand the whole E::MM / M::I convolutions, I cannot see why I should need to install a fake configuration, when the real one is correct?
