in thread Device::USB installation problems (again)

Hi Guys,

I'm still holding out on the rebuild. What follows is the latest installation log ("returned status 512" seems a little obscure, not to say binary).

Thanks

Steve

    look friend, look, clean out the junk, and look, cpan -fi module is a middleman, you need to look :) Has already been unwrapped into ... is code for junk, so you need make realclean, or do a fresh unwrap, and look :)

    From native exit codes 512 and 2304

    local $! = 512 >> 8; print "$!\n"; __END__ No such file or directory
    FYI, look is a cpan command, so you look, then you manually run perl Makefile.PL ...
