For the definitive answers look long the local::lib pages on CPAN - basically there are environment variables you can set to say where things are to be installed. Also, I think when you first run CPAN one of the questions it asks is where to install

(I've just tried this on a second C7 box, literally clean install, only did it on Friday, with the same results) I'm replacing a dead F19 box with a new C7 one and I'm trying to get my Perl install completed. Ultimately, I need to get Selenium::Remote::Driver working, but I'm struggling before that. I started off as always by using RPM's for everything I possibly can. I

Hi all, This is an interesting thread: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2014-April/141871.html about the problems you can find building perl modules for CentOS releases (new or old). I agree with John R. Pierce: cpan is very very bad tool ( in fact, I hate it) to build perl modules for CentOS systems, breaks all other perl modules. I need to use several perl modules in several

Dear list, I was installing Asterisk via the AMP method off the AMP website. There is a portion in there where they want you to use perl-cpan to install telnet. The first time I installed I had no problem. I messed up and trashed the box further down in the install.. This time I made a mistake and put a -jp3 switch for multi processors. This has caused the install of telnet tank. I found

Hi Peter, Do you have any instructiions on how to do this? I realise it's far from ideal, but I need to get this system working, and can do it on a stand alone server. > > But I think the .spec

Hello, I am trying to rebuild a zoneminder rpm. It calls for the module perl(Sys::Mmap). I installed via CPAN but when I run rpmbuild --rebuild zoneminder-xxxxxx, it tells me the above module is needed. Seems I ran into this once before and fixed it, but I can't remember what I did. I have searched for two days now and can't find anything of help. TIA Eddie PS If I can get this

Hi, I just used RPMforge package perl-Mail-Sender, and am looking at the perl cpan site for info, anyone got a simple way to determine if the module is working properly? I am trying to use the cpan info, but it's a bit cryptic (as perl is wont to be). -it says to use this: #!/usr/local/bin/perl use ExtUtils::Installed; my $instmod = ExtUtils::Installed->new(); foreach my $module

Since I'm the only other person to reply, I presume you mean something I said, but I don't think I ever said they "cannot work

When I first got involved with Red Hat (back with 5.2 in the early 90's) I learned the hard way not to use language-specific packaging systems like CPAN for Perl because they'd conflict with RPM's database and make it much harder to manage what was installed on my system. If I now need a package for which no RPM is available, I'll use a utility like cpanspec to repackage it

I could use some assistance getting CPAN functional again. CPAN stopped working on Centos 4.2 x64, and I can no longer install modules. I did a install Bundle::CPAN and upgraded to 1.8.2, and perl was updated afterwards via yum update. The error seems related to GPG, does anyone know if 1.8.2 added new restrictions on signatures? $ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration

CPAN on CentOS 7 doesn't install things in the system locations by default (and by design). This is to stop CPAN from over-writing files that actually belong to rpm packages. A number of things you can do. The

Everyone, Have a new install of Centos 4.4 with a Supermicro dual processor. I was trying to install the perl module Astro::Time with CPAN and the initial setup of CPAN suggested a -j3 switch to be used with 'make' on dual processor machines. I followed the suggestion but when the CPAN module tried to use make it failed with the -j3 switch. I thought I would uninstall CPAN to start

If you mean that you do that manually, you don?t have to. The ?look? command in the cpan shell or the --look option to cpanm does that automatically. That is, it unpacks the module and drops you

Hi all im not sure if this is the right mailing list but im using centos anyway. i run CPAN by perl -MCPAN -e shell and got through the first time configuration and after selecting the mirror sites i got this error and i can't get any modules to be installed. I haven't encountered this before and not very familiar with cpan. Constant subroutine __USE_POSIX undefined at

Not sure if this is the proper list, but I've spent days browsing for the solution. This only happens on the CentOS machine, so I'll start here. After upgrading CPAN, I get the following: undefined subroutine &Compress::Zlib::gzopen called at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/Tarzip.pm line 102. "gzopen" seems to refer to a PHP command. Am I missing a module, or have I hit a

I'm running CentOS 4.4. I'm trying to install swatch (a log watcher) using CPAN. It's getting hung up on trying to install a dependency, Pod::Simple So before I get too wrapped up in this, I have the following questions: 1. Is there an alternative way to install swatch? I didn't get a hit when I tried yum. 2. I'm not wedded to swatch. Is there another log checker
