Getting error while executing makeinfo on cygwin - perl

While executing makeinfo on cygwin I am getting the following errors. I am using the perl version 5.32.1
23:16 Harshal:~> makeinfo

If someone can provide some pointer on how to resolve this issue would be helpful
I tried updating the perl version. I tried commetting out the code on line num 27 in structuring.pm didn;t workout. I am not from software background but i need the above thing for some RISCV based toolchain update.
Any help woudl be really appreciated .

Something's wrong with your system. This is a file included in the perl-5.32.1-2 package. It should be found at
/usr/share/perl5/5.32/if.pm
Try reinstalling the perl package. If the file isn't missing, something's wrong with the permissions.

How to recover from interrupted CPAN module installation?

My computer crashed during a perl module installation using cpanm (I guess while installing Carp as a dependency of Moose). Now, when I try to use the modules I want to use, I get the following error:
user#linux:~$ ./script_using_moose.pl
Carp.pm did not return a true value at /usr/share/perl/5.14/diagnostics.pm line 185.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl/5.14/diagnostics.pm line 185.
Compilation failed in require at ./script_using_moose.pl line 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./script_using_moose.pl line 5.

And if I try to (re)install the package (using cpanm --reinstall or cpanm force) I get this other (similar) error:
user#linux:~$ sudo cpanm --force Moose
Carp.pm did not return a true value at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Parse/CPAN/Meta.pm line 6.

How can I resume installation or reconfigure/reinstall the incomplete module?
For some reason, a couple of files were created but not written to, or truncated. These can be easily identified in the full installation log as those modules with an undef version number:
Checking dependencies from MYMETA.json ...
...
Checking if you have Task::Weaken 0 ... Yes (undef)
...
Checking if you have Devel::GlobalDestruction 0 ... Yes (undef)
Reinstalling the modules Task::Weaken, and Devel::GlobalDestruction should do the trick.

How to use XPath.pm in perl script?

I've followed following link for the issues i faced.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11192967/using-xpath-with-perl
Really I don't know how to use. Please guide me in proper way.
Issue :
Can't locate XML/XPathEngine.pm in #INC (#INC contains: /perl/site/lib C:/Dwimpe
rl/perl/site/lib C:/Dwimperl/perl/vendor/lib C:/Dwimperl/perl/lib .) at C:/Dwimp

.
Compilation failed in require at Multi_instance_run1.pl line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Multi_instance_run1.pl line 9.
The following steps i followed for this
- In perl script, used like require XPath;
- After that executed command cpan XML::XPath .
-I've copied following files in the path C:\Dwimperl\perl\site\lib
XPath.pm
XPathEngine.pm
what did I miss ? where did I made mistake ? How to use XPath.pm ? How to include it in perl script ?
Try to put XPathEngine to C:\Dwimperl\perl\site\lib\XML folder

Perl module broke my windows xampp installation

PROBLEM: In the process of trying to install gitstat on a Windows7 machine I broke my xampp Apache installation. Now I can't get gitstat or apache to work.
APACHE ERROR:
[error] Can't load Perl file: C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/startup.pl for server localhost:80, exiting...`
Other people have reported this issue being caused by the PERL5LIB environment variable, but that variable does not exist on my machine.
WHAT I DID / GITSTAT ERROR:
I needed the SOAP::Lite module installed so I followed the windows guide here: http://soaplite.com/install.html
As far as I could tell I installed the module successfully, console output below
cpan[1]> install SOAP::Lite
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.21)
Going to read '\xampp\perl\bin\.cpan\Metadata'
Database was generated on Wed, 27 Jun 2012 02:47:03 GMT
SOAP::Lite is up to date (0.714).
I saw a SOAP directory in perl/site/lib which (to me) means that the module should be available. When I look in my perllocal.pod file SOAP:Lite is in there.
Part of the gitstat installation instructions say to copy the Lite.pm file from perl/site/lib/SOAP into gitstat\gstat_pl\lib
However, when I try to perform step nine of gitstat installation (perl gitstat.pl HEAD) I get the following:
C:\xampp\htdocs\gitstat\gstat_pl>perl gitstat.pl HEAD
Supported versions:
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/xampp/perl/site/lib/SOAP/Lite.pm line 34
86.
Compilation failed in require at C:/xampp/perl/site/lib/SOAP/Constants.pm line 1

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/xampp/perl/site/lib/SOAP/Constants.pm li
ne 13.
Compilation failed in require at lib/Lite.pm line 3444.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/Lite.pm line 3444.
Compilation failed in require at gitstat.pl line 30.
If I don't copy the file from perl/site/lib/SOAP then I get
C:\xampp\htdocs\gitstat\gstat_pl>perl gitstat.pl HEAD
Can't locate lib/Lite.pm in #INC (#INC contains: C:/xampp/perl/lib C:/xampp/perl
/site/lib .) at gitstat.pl line 30.
I don't understand why CPAN didn't install the Lite.pm module in the #INC path or why the compilation might fail when the module is available, or most importantly why my Apache install is broken. Also I'm very new to Perl and CPAN and my understanding of Apache is primitive so simpler explanations would be greatly appreciated.

Error when trying to use XML::Parser under modperl2 - Could not load module

I've run into a problem when using XML::Parser under our modperl setup in production (on AIX 5.3). It works fine in development but fails on production with the following error:

The expat/expat-devel libraries were installed into /opt/freeware/lib using a package (the same one on dev and live) and both show the same output from ldd Expat.so:
Expat.so needs:
/usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o)
/opt/freeware/lib/libexpat.a(libexpat.so.1)
/unix
/usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr.o)
I've tried setting up LIBPATH both in our dotfiles and in our mod_env configuration but with no luck. I'm not expecting someone to know the exact answer but I've run out of ideas as to what I can try so I'm hoping for some suggestions to try out.
EDIT: I should also point out that the same script using XML::Parser works perfectly as a normal cgi-bin script on our live server.
One thought: Maybe there are two different XML::Parser installed on your prod server. Your CGI pick one and your script pick the another?
Print out the #INC from script (on prod and dev) and from your working CGI and compare the result.

Why do I get "version (5.12.2) doesn't match executable version" with Perl's PAR?

When I run the following to create an executable out of my Perl script:
pp -o process_target_mode_data Process_Target_Mode_Data.pl
I get the following error output:

Perl lib version (5.12.2) doesn't match executable version (v5.12.0)
Some parts of your Perl installation are at a different version than others. More specifically, if you look at /home/Neil/ActivePerl-5.12/lib/Config.pm line 50, you will see that there is an explicit comparison of the version of Perl being executed (which is 5.12.0) to the version of the Config.pm library being used (5.12.2).
If you perform a new installation of ActivePerl 5.12.2 (to bring all components up to the same version), this error should go away.
I had same issue. I installed PAR::Packer from Activestate Perl Package Manager (PPM). As mentioned above in one of the replies, there is version mismatch between the perl and pp binaries. Here's how I fixed it:
Uninstall PAR-Packer from PPM.
Open DOS command line.
Run cpan install PAR::Packer
This will download, compile, and install the package from CPAN. MinGW compiler toolchain will be downloaded as well, if needed. The whole process may take a while on slower cpus.
Find the location of that pp, then figure out its version. I bet it's left over from an earlier installation. Ensure that you have PAR for your new version of Perl.
You can also try specifying the location of the particular pp you want to use so you know exactly what one you are using:
$ /full/path/to/5.12.2/pp ...
Go to the perl/lib/Config.pm and changed the condition in the lines:
die "$0: Perl lib version (5.32.0) doesn't match executable '$^X' version ($])" unless $^V;
to
die "$1: Perl lib version (5.32.1) doesn't match executable '$^X' version ($])" unless $^V;
and the next line
$^V eq 5.32.0 or die sprintf "%s: Perl lib version (5.32.0) doesn't match executable '$^X' version (%vd)", $0, $^V;
to
$^V eq 5.32.1 or die sprintf "%s: Perl lib version (5.32.1) doesn't match executable '$^X' version (%vd)", $0, $^V;
this worked for me, at least it won't complain... yes, i know, PERL and Python are f***d up.
