I would like to install perl version 5.26.3 in host running with Solaris 11 using service account. The installation has to be done in Application file system or in user directory.
Please could someone share with the steps to install ?
Please note that perl 5.26 version is already installed at OS level , but we want to have our own perl installation in application folder rather than using OS level perl interpreter
Thanks.
Here is an example of installing from source using the defaults. If you want to modify the defaults, have a look at the INSTALL document.
$ wget https://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.26.3.tar.bz2
$ bunzip2 perl-5.26.3.tar.bz2
$ tar xvf perl-5.26.3.tar
$ cd perl-5.26.3
$ sh Configure -de -Dprefix='/some/dir' # Where to install
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
Then edit the PATH environment variable to include /some/dir/bin such that the shell can find the new perl.

I'm trying to install Net::SSLeay with Carton.
The installation fails with this message
Configuring Net-SSLeay-1.90 Running Makefile.PL Do you want to run external tests?
These tests *will* *fail* if you do not have network connectivity. [n] n

WARNING: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/perl/5.32.1_1/bin/perl is loading libcrypto in an unsafe way -> N/A
I've tried this with system perl, brew perl and multiple perlbrew perls.
Google came up with a temp solution to build homebrew using x86_64 architecture.
This did work for the libcrypto error, but gave me a whole different set of issues including mysql not running anymore.
Other "solutions" that I've tried are symlinking libssl & libcrypto as suggested by numerous other posts, all sadly without success.
Any ideas how to fix this or work around this without having to reinstall all brew packages as x86_64 ?
Quick Workaround
If you are looking for a quick workaround follow these steps.
Run carton bundle to create a vendor cache directory.
Go to cached tarball 'cache/authors/id/C/CH/CHRISN/' and unpack tar -xvzf Net-SSLeay-1.90.tar.gz
Edit Makefile.PL, change my $prefix = find_openssl_prefix(); to
my $prefix = '/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl#1.1'; ** adjust to your openssl location.
Save and create new tarball tar -czvf Net-SSLeay-1.90.tar.gz Net-SSLeay-1.90
Run carton install --cached to use the altered version
Hope this helps anyone in search of workaround
You can solve this in two steps:
upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to at least version 7.58 (e.g. cpanm ExtUtils::MakeMaker)
install openssl via macports (sudo port install openssl) or homebrew (brew install --cask openssl)
After the Monterey update this broke again also on the x86_64 architecture, but just symlinking your latest openssl (where ever it is, depending how you have installed it) seemed to fix this. Example:
$ export OPENSSL_PREFIX=[find your openssl installation]
$ sudo ln -s $OPENSSL_PREFIX/lib/libssl.dylib /usr/local/lib/
$ sudo ln -s $OPENSSL_PREFIX/lib/libcrypto.dylib /usr/local/lib/
Better workaround:
I entered export OPENSSL_PREFIX=/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl#1.1 in my shell and then ran cpan. I checked the code in Makefile.PL and the first thing the function find_openssl_prefix does is to check the OPENSSL_PREFIX environment variable. If it is set, then it the function will return its contents.
Add the variable to your .profile, .cshrc, .bashrc, .zshrc, or whatever rc file your shell uses and you never have to worry about it again!!
Within my Dockerfile, I am setting up the Perl modules that will be installed when run, like so:
RUN ["cpanm", "Carp", "Carp::Heavy", "Class::Data::Inheritable"]
However, for one module, I need a specific version of a module, not the latest one. How can I specify that version in the above line?
I've been searching online for hours, and haven't turned up anything useful yet.
Instead of specifying a module name, specify a URL. Eg, instead of Class::Data::Inheritable, use https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/T/TM/TMTM/Class-Data-Inheritable-0.06.tar.gz
You can find the applicable URL by going to the module page on metacpan, selecting the version you want, and copying the download link.
PS: You might want to also set PERL_CPANM_OPT=--from https://cpan.metacpan.org/ in the environment so cpanm only downloads using HTTPS.
For anyone who's searching for this same answer in the future, another option can be found here in the documentation for cpanm:
cpanm Plack#0.9990
If you have a long list of modules, consider feeding a cpanfile into cpanm rather than listing them all in the Dockerfile.
The easiest way to specify a particular version number for a module in a cpanfile is like this:
requires 'Text::ParseWords', '==3.1';
The syntax for requesting the latest version of a module is this:
requires 'Text::ParseWords';
Requesting a minimum version: (note the lack of '==')
requires 'Text::ParseWords', '3.1';
The syntax for requesting specific versions in other ways is fairly well-documented here.
Another great write-up of the use of cpanm and a cpanfile can be found
in Installation of cpan modules by cpanm and cpanfile.
To have CPAN install a specific version of a module, you need to provide the full module distribution filename including the author. For example to install the module Set::Object version 1.28, at the command line type:
cpan SAMV/Set-Object-1.28.tar.gz
Same thing apply with Docker, just add
RUN cpan SAMV/Set-Object-1.28.tar.gz
To specify target module version you can use
cpanm MIYAGAWA/Plack-0.99_05.tar.gz # full distribution path
cpanm http://example.org/LDS/CGI.pm-3.20.tar.gz # install from URL
cpanm ~/dists/MyCompany-Enterprise-1.00.tar.gz # install from a local file
See official documentation: https://metacpan.org/dist/App-cpanminus/view/bin/cpanm
But better, to my mind, would be to use cpanfile. See --cpanfile option https://metacpan.org/dist/App-cpanminus/view/bin/cpanm#-cpanfile and format of this file https://metacpan.org/pod/cpanfile
But if you have many modules (like me), I recommend to use cpm. It installs modules in parallel very fast. Also with help of docker we could cache builds, thus rebuilds will takes seconds. Here is my Dockerfile:
## Modules
WORKDIR ${APP_ROOT}
# install modules outside of WORKDIR, so it will not interfere when we do COPY . .
RUN mkdir -p ../modules
RUN ln -s ../modules local
RUN cpanm -n -L ./local App::cpm Carton::Snapshot && rm -rf /root/.cpanm
COPY cpanfile ./
COPY cpanfile.snapshot ./
RUN \
--mount=type=cache,target=/root/.perl-cpm \
cpm install -w 16 --no-test -L ./local \
--with-develop
# regenerate cpanfile.snapshot
# https://github.com/miyagawa/Carmel#cpm
# cpm doesn't have the ability to manage cpanfile.snapshot file on its own.
RUN carton install
# You can copy snapshot from container by running:
# docker cp <container_name>:${APP_ROOT}/cpanfile.snapshot.latest ./cpanfile.snapshot
I tried to install the latest release tarball of Mesos on CentOS 6.4 with no luck. It ended up in all sorts of failures in trying to find jvm & jni bindings. Is there any instructions on how to install Mesos on RHEL or CentOS ?
I couldn't find any instructions around so I thought I would troubleshoot all through my way and thought of documenting it here so it can save your time.
First things first, load your CentOS box with essential build tools to get started
$ sudo yum groupinstall "Development tools"
Get Java and python dependencies installed
$ sudo yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64 python python-devel libcurl libcurl-devel
Get the latest Mesos tarball
$ wget http://mirror.nus.edu.sg/apache/mesos/0.13.0/mesos-0.13.0.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf mesos-0.13.0.tar.gz
$ cd mesos-0.13.0
Before you can build Mesos, you need to set correct JAVA binding paths
$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr
$ export JAVA_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/server -R/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/server -ljvm"
$ export JAVA_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0/include -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0/include/linux"
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/server:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Configure and build it
$ ./configure
$ make
After you have built Mesos, it is advisable that you build and run the tests, this will make sure that what you have installed meets all the requirements
$ make check
If the checks are successful, You are just one step away from installing it in your system installation paths
$ make install

For those who prefer installing from RPM's, here is a link to a number of different releases for different Linux flavors: http://mesosphere.io/downloads/ For example, for Centos64:
wget http://downloads.mesosphere.io/master/centos/6/mesos_0.14.2_x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh mesos_0.14.2_x86_64.rpm
I also had to set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, though to a slightly different value. Check yours.
Python bindings can also be downloaded from the first link above:
wget http://downloads.mesosphere.io/master/centos/6/mesos_0.14.2_x86_64.egg
sudo easy_install mesos_0.14.2_x86_64.egg
I want to install File-MimeInfo-0.16 package and run "perl Build.PL", it threw out:
Could not create MYMETA files
Creating new 'Build' script for 'File-MimeInfo' version '0.16'
Does anyone know how to fix? thanks in advance
The package that creates MYMETA.json and MYMETA.yml files is called CPAN::Meta. You can install it with one of the following:
Mac OS X: type sudo port install p5-cpan-meta in the terminal (assuming you have MacPorts installed)
Ubuntu Linux: type sudo apt-get install libcpan-meta-perl in the terminal
Other platforms: run the CPAN shell (typically by typing cpan from a terminal or command prompt), and type:
install CPAN::Meta
You can install File::MimeInfo from CPAN directly.
cpan File::MineInfo
OR, if you want to do it manually,
Install the following dependencies if you don't have them:
Carp
Exporter
Fcntl
Pod::Usage
File::Basename
File::BaseDir
File::DesktopEntry
Download the distribution
wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/P/PA/PARDUS/File-MimeInfo/File-MimeInfo-0.16.tar.gz
Run the following sequence of command:
tar xvzf File-MimeInfo-0.16.tar.gz
cd File-MimeInfo-0.16
perl MakeFile.PL
make test
make install
I do not know why you want to run perl Build.PL.
But as far as installation of the module is concerned, above step will get you the module installed for sure (Provided you take care of the dependencies...OR use CPAN)

I'm trying to install Maatkit following the maatkit instructions. I can't get past having to install DBD::mysql. "Warning: prerequisite DBD::mysql 1 not found."
When I try to install DBD::mysql from cpan, I get very helpful "make had returned bad status, install seems impossible".
Perl is "v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level", the one that came with OS X. I also tried building from source with same result.
We need more of the error message. Most likely, you are missing the MySQL client development files. I don't know how to install these on OSX. Also see this older post on OSX 10.5.2 , in which some other failures with the mysql client libraries are found.
Possibly post this question with more parts of your error message at perlmonks.org, if stackoverflow doesn't allow for convenient pasting of your make session or rather the last 20 or 10 lines of it.
Some more Googling with site:perlmonks.org also finds this post which has some more details on things to watch out for when installing DBD::MySQL. Depending on how comfortable you feel with the installation, you might want to manually run the tests, supplying a test database and test user or even skip testing the module.
After a bit more googling, this worked for me:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/include /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBD::mysql'
press enter a bunch of times, then in your maatkit folder:
perl Makefile.PL
sudo make install
and you'll find the mk-* programs in /usr/local/bin/
You will want to install MySQL first. I usually use the binary packages they provide for OS X. The packages do include the headers and MySQL client libraries which DBD::MySQL requires. Once the MySQL package is installed, DBD::MySQL should install without issue.
Here is my output:
$ perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: prerequisite DBD::mysql 1 not found.
Writing Makefile for maatkit
$ mysql --version
mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.51b, for apple-darwin9.0.0b5 (i686) using readline 5.0
I notice that there are in effect DBD::MySQL packages in the fink repositories. For example:
ayaz#ayazs-macbook$ fink list | grep -i 'dbd-mysql'
dbd-mysql-pm586 3.0008-10 Perl5 Database Interface to MySQL
dbd-mysql-pm588 3.0008-10 Perl5 Database Interface to MySQL
Perhaps installing through fink one of those packages may help alleviate your troubles.
Also, and I cannot be certain of this, you may want to install for MySQL-5.x (if you have that version installed) the mysql15-dev and mysql15-shlibs packages. I installed those through fink thus:
$ sudo fink --use-binary-dist install mysql15-dev
