So I just installed Strawberry Perl and now I want to get the following module:
https://metacpan.org/pod/Lingua::EN::CMUDict
So I typed in "cpanm Lingua::EN::CMUDict" and got:
So I tried again with "cpanm Lingua::EN::CMUDict --force" and got the same exact thing.
Here are the contents of the log in question:

And that log:

Also, it says my File::ShareDir is up to date.
I have installed the file manually, and put it in perl\lib, but it says it doesn't exist. Where should I put it?
I looked up the module in CPAN and under Kwalitee issues I found:
prereq_matches_use
List all used modules in META.yml requires
Error:
File::ShareDir
When I downloaded (but not installed) the module I found this in the code
(in Lingua/EN/CMUDict.pm): use File::ShareDir ':ALL'
So maybe the installation is missing this module and you could try to install it yourself.
It was Håkon Hægland that helped. As soon as I changed the permission to lib, it worked.

I am trying to install GD and Chart to Strawberry Perl in a Windows 10 Pro PC (using CPANM). Both GD and Chart requires a dependency called ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Unfortunately MakeMaker fails to be install and I cannot tell what the error is. I hope someone can understand the error message and tell me what goes wrong.
That is how I try to install Chart and the few error message that I get:

Please let me know what goes wrong and how to fix this problem. If there is no solution to this problem, I would like to know if there is any workaround. Thanks.
UPDATE 1: I installed the latest version of Perl (5.32.1.1). Unfortunately I still cannot install the dependency MakeMaker for Chart library. The content in the build.log after trying to install Chart is:

UPDATE 2: I used the -v switch with CPANM to install Chart, and this somehow worked fine. I don't know why -v switch can make a difference. But I am glad that this works for installing Chart. Now Chart is successfully installed. Unfortunately when I try to install GD using the -v switch, I run into the same error.
The build.log of my latest attempt is the following:

Please note that the build.log mentioned in the last line above is the same build.log that I have posted right above. I don't know why it refers to itself. I mention this just in case someone wants to see the "real" build.log.
UPDATE 3: Finally with the help from Håkon Hægland, I figured out that the PATH of the computer was missing several paths (namely C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem). I added the missing paths to PATH, and the installation is successful. I have no idea why those important paths would go missing. But I am glad that the installation of GD and Chart are successful.
With the help from Håkon Hægland, I finally figured out that the PATH of the computer somehow was missing several important paths, namely C:\Windows, C:\Windows\System32, and C:\Windows\System32\Wbem. This explains the reason why CPANM failed to install GD and Chart. It probably could not get access to a command to install the distribution or its dependency. After I have added the missing paths to PATH, I have no problem using CPANM to install GD and Chart.
As of why those paths were missing from PATH, I have no idea. I don't recall this problem ever happened to me.
As of why I could use CPANM to install Chart using the -v switch despite the fact that the paths were missing, I have no idea either.

The problem with installing Crypt::Curve25519 is described in this issue. I downloaded the problematic module Crypt::Curve25519 and patched it:
git clone git#github.com:ajgb/crypt-curve25519.git
wget https://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SR/SREZIC/patches/Crypt-Curve25519-0.06-PR10-ANOTHERLINK.patch
cd crypt-curve25519
git apply ../Crypt-Curve25519-0.06-PR10-ANOTHERLINK.patch

make # No errors now

However, when I try again to install Crypt::Curve25519 it still tries to install the broken module from CPAN:

! Bailing out the installation for Net-SSH-Perl-2.14.
How can I make cpanm use the installed patch instead (i.e. skip installation of Crypt::Curve25519 since it is already installed)?
The problem seems to be missing VERSION information in the module. By adding a line
our $VERSION = 0.06;
to the top of the file lib/Crypt/Curve25519.pm and then reinstall, and then installing cpanm Net::SSH::Perl worked fine (it accepted the patched installation and did not try to download the broken version).
Here is the patch I used to lib/Crypt/Curve25519.pm:
diff --git a/lib/Crypt/Curve25519.pm b/lib/Crypt/Curve25519.pm
index 686b706..d9c2b3d 100644

There's a few things to check:
cpanm knows where to find your patched version.
The patched version has a version that's higher than the one on CPAN. The module idea in CPAN assumes that you always want the latest, so ensure that yours is.
You don't want to install a patched module at the standard location because you don't want a cpan client to overwrite it.
Some other things that can work:
Force install the module and ignore the failures (cpanm has a --notest feature). The CPAN version is still installed, but that doesn't matter.
Have your patched version in a separate directory that's at the front of #INC so your program finds it first. This effectively hides the CPAN version.
I found this one relevant question on problems with installing Math::Pari, here. Except this is for shell and I have cpanm. I downloaded the latest version of Pari, Pari 2-7-6. Where should I extract the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Pari-2-7-6 to install Math::Pari in perl (not in cpan shell however) successfully? Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to install Math::Pari module but getting error.

Did not find GP/PARI build directory around.
Apparently, you are running a 64-bit Perl built with MicroSoft's compilers.
GP/PARI (at least the versions I know how to work with, 2.1.* and 2.3.*)
cannot be built in this environment. I won't auto-download GP/PARI.
If you believe that this message is printed erroneously, please report
(see files README and INSTALL), and put force_download on the command line:
perl Makefile.PL force_download
One can rerun Makefile.PL after fetching GP/PARI archive (e.g., pari-2.1.7.tgz,
or pari-2.3.4.tar.gz) manually to the current directory, or a (grand)parent
directory of the current directory.
[Keep in mind that the numbers "inside version" of Math::Pari module
correspond to the last versions of GP/PARI it was tested with (additionally,
2.0108* works best with the last 2.1.* version, 2.1.7).
As an alternative to having archive in CWD or its (grand)parent, specify
pari_tgz=PATH_TO_TAR_GZ
option to Makefile.PL.
There is no need to extract the archive, or build GP/PARI; but if you
have it extracted [and patched, if needed], you may specify
paridir=PATH_TO_DIST_DIR
option to Makefile.PL instead of `pari_tgz'. However, in this case
the files WON'T be auto-patched.
As a last-resort solution, there is also a possibility to use an already
compiled PARI library. See the documentation in README and INSTALL files.]
Could not find GP/PARI build directory, please run Makefile.PL
with paridir=/directory option.

I thought I'd add a note for anyone coming here as a result of a Google search after their own Math::Pari install fails under Strawberry Perl.
Here is what worked for me (Strawberry 5.22):
A. from the cpan shell, tried to install Math::Pari. this failed
B. Downloaded pari-2.1.7 and placed the extracted folder pari-2.1.7 in the cpan build folder that was created in (0). This is found, by default, in C:\Strawberry\cpan\build
C.perl Makefile.PL Configure machine=none
D. dmake
E. dmake install
It basically means that 64 bit versions of perl are not supported. It also means that if you're sure that you're running a 32 bit version incorrectly detected as 64 bit, you can try opening a command line and then doing
cd C:\Users\script\.cpanm\work\1438929213.2276\

I tried to install module Class-Load-XS-0.04 manually. I saw the following error:
$ perl Build.PL
Warning: ExtUtils::CBuilder not installed or no compiler detected
Proceeding with configuration, but compilation may fail during Build
However, the execution of perl -e 'use ExtUtils::CBuilder' was perfectly fine. I even tried to re-install ExtUtils::CBuilder, but it still does not work.
Could you please help?
I tried on my Win 7 machine, and it shows some warnings like this when I do perl Build.pl:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Checking prerequisites...

of the modules indicated above before proceeding with this installation
Then I installed the above mentioned modules, and things went fine then.
You may try install these modules first.
Hope it helps.
It looks to me like you don't have a compiler. Try this:
perl -e 'use ExtUtils::CBuilder; $cb = ExtUtils::CBuilder->new; print $cb->have_compiler ? "have\n" : "dont have\n";'
Can I guess that you are on Windows using ActiveState Perl? If so perhaps try Strawberry Perl which comes with a compiler.
Had a similar problem installing a different module (Win32::Mutex). This isn't a great fix, but it got the job done. From the build directory (e.g., ~/.cpan/build/The-Module-mYyzLx)
First, set the CC environment variable yourself
SET CC=C:\strawberry\c\bin\g++.exe [Windows]
export CC=/usr/bin/g++.exe [Cygwin]
and try to build (perl Build.PL, perl Build, ...). If it is still complaining about missing programs (g++, dlltool, etc.):
Second, copy pieces of your tool chain into the build directory
COPY C:\strawberry\c\bin\g++.exe . [Windows]
COPY C:\strawberry\c\bin\dlltool.exe .
cp /usr/bin/g++ . [Cygwin]
cp /usr/bin/dlltool .
If the build still complains about missing programs, copy those to your build directory too.
The fix and the symptoms are consistent with ExtUtils::CBuilder not being able to use the current PATH setting, though I have no idea what that would be so difficult.
I'd suggest installing these first:
apt-get install libc6-dev
and
apt-get install libtest-exception-perl
By the way you describe the problem it looks like you have these two perl modules missing. On the other hand it takes just a couple of seconds to double-check if those are installed, but these 'seconds' could help you save on a lot of head ache.
