Cannot Install HTML::Display

gw1500se has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I don't know if it matters but I am using Cygwin to do this. I am trying to install HTML::Display using 'perl -MCPAN' and not having much luck. There appears to be some prereq missing that the install is not following but I can't determine what it is. Here what I think is the relevent error:

Can't locate HTML/TokeParser/Simple.pm in @INC

However, HTML::TokeParser is up to date.

Can someone help me figure out why this will not install? TIA.

HTML::TokeParser::Simple is separate from HTML::TokeParser. The former depends on the latter, but is a separate distribution.... So it looks like you need to install HTML::TokeParser::Simple as the error suggests.	[reply]

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize HTML::TokeParser::Simple was a separate module. Now for the bad news. That won't install either because: Can't locate Sub/Override.pm in @INC That won't install because: Can't locate Test/Exception.pm in @INC That won't install because: Can't locate Sub/Uplevel.pm in @INC That won't install because: Can't open perl script ""-I/home/username/.cpan/build/Sub-Uplevel-0.1901-CL2lQ7/blib/lib"": No such file or directory What in the world is going on here?

I figured it out. It was a combination of Cygwin choosing a home directory with a space in it (apparently some of the installers cannot handle that) and the test harness was obsolete. After getting that all straightened out it appears everything installed OK. However, I am not sure because I have another problem which I'll post as a different topic.	[reply]
