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

Folks,

I'm trying to add Config::Std to a plain run-of-the-mill perl installaion from Linux From Scratch 6.1.1. Config::Std wants Class::Std and in return Class_Std wants version. Buth then, version complaisn about some loading of version::Builder . I've installed Config::Std a few times before but never ran into this error. Any idea to solve this ? Here's the error it gives: 

Class-Std-v0.0.8
  Warning: prerequisite version 0 not found.

version-0.56
  Can't locate object method "up_to_date" via package "version::Builde
+r"
  (perhaps you forgot to load "version::Builder"?) at Build line 45.

Thanks, Al.

    Try installing the current version of "version". It's at v0.68 right now. Get it here: version-0.68

    To build it:

     perl Build.PL --perl_only
         ./Build
         ./Build test
         ./Build install

    The use of perl Build.PL --perl_only is if you don't have a c compiler; but, if you do have a c compiler that you suspect isn't up to par, then I think it might help you to get it to install properly.
