Re^2: CPAN: Install of Apache2::Request failed

This is suspicious Can't open perl script "INSTALLDIRS=site" INSTALLDIRS=site is an argument for Makefile.PL, not perl

You should break out of CPAN, I think

CPAN> look libapreq2
[download]

or with cpanplus

cpanp z libapreq2
[download]

and run

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
[download]

manually

Thanks so much - I guess I'll never know why I couldn't install via CPAN, but using cpanplus and your manual install technique, it seems to have worked. Thanks.	[reply]

Hello Monks. New here as a monk but have been a reader in the past... I ran in to this problem too. Having had a look at the Makefile.PL sourcecode, I see the problem is due to the way Makefile.PL interfaces with configure. I've sent the following message to apreq-dev@httpd.apache.org: ----->8------- I've been trying to install libapreq2-2.12 using the following command: `perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor --with-apache2-apxs=/blah` [download] This fails because Makefile.PL assumes that options passed to it that are not recognised are Perl options rather than Makefile.PL options (line 54). This results in configure being invoked as: `./configure --enable-perl-glue --with-perl-opts=INSTALLDIRS=vendor --w +ith-apache2-apxs=/blah/apxs --with-perl=/blah/perl` [download] This leads to the configure script trying to run the following command at line 19493: `perl INSTALLDIRS=vendor build/version_check.pl` [download] that then fails... Does anyone think it would be possible to enable the Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor for this package? I appreciate that the distribution uses a somewhat non-standard way to install the modules. -----8<------ I'll post anything I hear back about this question. In the meantime I've just not passed the INSTALLDIRS option to Makefile.PL - not ideal in my situation, but at least it allows me to install the modules. Simon	[reply] [d/l] [select]
