in reply to DBomb Installation Problem

Do you usually cd into usr/lib/perl5/.../, download the module, and install it by hand? Is that in fact what you did here? I highly recommend perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBomb' if that's the case.

Also, DBomb looks really neat. I need to remember to try that out...

    Great ! That seems to have done a cleaner install, though I'm not sure -- here's the message that I got back

  There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.8802) available!
  [Current version is v1.7601]
  You might want to try
    install Bundle::CPAN
    reload cpan

DBomb is up to date.

How do I tell if its a clean install? Unfortunately the error that I g
+ot is related to a perl call in MovableType that works on one server,
+ but not this new one. 

By the way the error i'm getting is 
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at lib/MT/App/CMS.p
+m line 1175.

there's code that's working fine on the media temple server but is dyi

the way you can see the error is by: 
http://www.twentythreesix.com/MT/mt.cgi 
log in as paul / thesite

you get back this error message: 
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at lib/MT/App/CMS.p
+m line 1174.

i researched and it looks like we need to have DBomb perl module insta
+lled, and as usual with perl, it needed about 5 other modules in orde
+r to install

i'm attaching my notes from that installation process, all but DBomb i
+tself installed succusefully, though there were a couple notes that i
+ made in there of things that looked a little bit odd



the code that MT  dies on is this: 

    use huff::WelcomeMessage;
    my $driver = MT::Entry->driver;
    my $dbh = $driver->{dbh}; 
    my $query = "SELECT Name from NGBlogWelcome";
     my $welcome = pop(@{$dbh->selectcol_arrayref($query)});  **THIS I
+S LINE 1174**
    $param{welcome} = $welcome;
    
    my $query = "SELECT Comment from NGBlogWelcome";
    my $welcome = pop(@{$dbh->selectcol_arrayref($query)});
    $param{welcomemessage} = $welcome;
    $app->build_page('list_blog.tmpl', \%param);

huff:WelcomeMessage is a .pm file located here: 
MT/extlib/huff/WelcomeMessage.pm

which contains this code: 

package huff::WelcomeMessage;
use strict;

use MT::Object;
@huff::WelcomeMessage::ISA = qw( MT::Object );
__PACKAGE__->install_properties({
    column_defs => {
        'id' => 'integer not auto_increment',
        'name' => 'varchar(60)',
        'comment' => 'text',
        'creation_date' => 'datetime'
    },
    indexes => {
        id => 1,
        entry_id => 1,
        zone => 1,
    },
    defaults => {
        name => 'welcome title',
        comment => 'welcome body',
    },
    audit => 1,
    datasource => 'welcomemessage',
    primary_key => 'id',
});

    Many many thanks for any ideas on this one Best regards Paul (i guess there are a lot of us out there, i wonder how

      See, at this point I'd assume something went wrong with the previous install and choose perl -MCPAN -e shell; when you get the prompt, issue a "force install DBomb." If it doesn't fix the problem it may lead you in the right direction. I'm guessing it's a missed dependency.

        Thanks -- I think this hopefully leading me in the right direction. I tried the force install DBomb from the MCPAN -e shell.

        It returned a bunch of errors, but none of which I can interpret into an action point, what do you think? The whole thing was a ton of lines, so I'm not going to paste them all but the first group of errors are here:
