I am unable to build Net::MAC::Vendor on a Mac w/ High Sierra. I am relatively new to Perl but have built modules in the past. The error appears to be:

Can someone help, thanks
I'm also still on High Sierra (10.13.6), on an ancient-but-still-running Mac Mini mid-2010. Using the built-in /usr/bin/perl (v5.18.2), running install Net::MAC::Vendor inside the CPAN shell gave me the same error. Running force install Net::MAC::Vendor worked, in that the module was installed.
A simple perl -MNet::MAC::Vendor -e "print 'hi'" works, so it looks like Perl can at least load that library, not really sure how to test that it works for real. But, at least this will let you install it and try it.

Having the exact issue as described at: perl module Class::HPLOO v0.23 install issue, I have attempted to correct the defined(#array) problem by editing to just (#array) and trying to rebuild the module. However I continue to get the return of:

There are three issues with Class::HPLOO (which as I noted before, hasn't been updated since 2005) that make it fail with modern perls.
As discovered in the previous post,
the obsolete construct defined (#array) is used once in lib/Class/HPLOO.pm' and three times inlib/Class/HPLOO/Base.pm`. This construction has been prohibited since v5.22
The current directory (.) is no longer in #INC (as of v5.24, I think). So the lines in test.pl like
require "test/classtest.pm"
either all need to be rewritten as
require "./test/classtest.pm"
or an easier fix is to put
use lib '.';
at the top of the script.
There is a regular expression in lib/Class/HPLOO.pm, line 1077, with an "unescaped left brace"
$sub =~ s/(\S)( {) (\S)/$1$2\n$FIRST_SUB_IDENT $3/gs ;
{ is a regex metacharacter, and since v5.22 it has been illegal to use it in a context where it is not indicating a quantity. The fix, as the error message suggests, is to escape it.
$sub =~ s/(\S)( \{) (\S)/$1$2\n$FIRST_SUB_IDENT $3/gs ;
Make these three changes to the code you download from CPAN and the module should build on modern Perls. If you're feeling helpful, you can submit a bug report (linking to this post, if you want) or even a patch with an email to bug-Class-HPLOO#rt.cpan.org
come across this issue today, so I fixed it following the answer above. if anyone want to save some time.
I create a repo with the changes. https://github.com/swuecho/Class_HPLOO.git
The system is Ubuntu. There is a perl in /usr/bin/, and is version is 5.18.2.
In this state, I tried to install many software by "sudo apt-get install **" and it was OK.
But a few days before, I installed a new perl in an other
directory(/share/Software/perl-5.26.0/bin/perl). And I remove the original perl then link the new perl to /use/bin/. The commands are:
sudo mv /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/old/; (the old/ directory was make before)
sudo ln -s /share/Software/perl-5.26.0/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl
After that, I got the error informations when I install system software by apt-get. The error likes below:
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

make: *** [test] Error 1
Each Perl is compiled with a few #INC directories where it will search for modules. The error message explains which directories are searched:
#INC contains:
/share/Software/perl-5.26.0/lib/site_perl/5.26.0/x86_64-linux
/share/Software/perl-5.26.0/lib/site_perl/5.26.0
/share/Software/perl-5.26.0/lib/5.26.0/x86_64-linux
/share/Software/perl-5.26.0/lib/5.26.0
This does not include the directories where APT has installed modules for Perl, e.g. under /usr/lib.
However, adding those directories will not help. Some modules are compiled for a specific Perl versions. You cannot upgrade Perl in-place, but would have to reinstall all modules. Since APT contains pre-built modules you cannot use modules installed via APT with a custom Perl.
Therefore: leave the system Perl because Ubuntu depends on its proper functioning. It is safe to install another Perl alongside, e.g. via perlbrew. It is safe to add a custom Perl to your PATH, e.g. via perlbrew switch. This will also fix a couple of additional environment variables that are required for a second Perl to work.
Context
Here is a perl test script, in which I wanted to see how you can use a specific event loop with AnyEvent :
# file test.pl :
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use AnyEvent;
use AnyEvent::Impl::EV;
my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;
my $wait_one_and_a_half_seconds = AnyEvent->timer (
after => 0.5, # after how many seconds to invoke the cb?
cb => sub { # the callback to invoke
print ("Hello from callback\n");
$cv->send;
},
);
# now wait till our time has come
$cv->recv;
Problem
Here is the error I get when running the above code :
$ perl test.pl
Can't locate EV.pm in #INC (you may need to install the EV module) (#INC
contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2
/usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.18 /usr/share/perl/5.18
/usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2/AnyEvent/Impl/EV.pm
line 28.

Compilation failed in require at test.pl line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 6.
Yet I installed the AnyEvent package using cpanm, and the AnyEvent/Impl/EV.pm file is present in one of the #INC path :
$ ls /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2/AnyEvent/Impl/
Cocoa.pm Event.pm FLTK.pm IOAsync.pm Perl.pm Qt.pm UV.pm
EventLib.pm EV.pm Glib.pm Irssi.pm POE.pm Tk.pm
Question
How do I fix this ?
Extra remark
The error message says it is looking for EV.pm, but I would have expected AnyEvent/Impl/EV.pm.
How come the use AnyEvent::Impl::EV; I wrote got turned into perl is looking for EV.pm at runtime ?
Just tried to reproduce this with cpan install AnyEvent and can confirm I get the same error.
Line 28 of 'EV.pm' is use EV 4.00;. Your use EV; is a bit of a red herring - that's not the source of the error. This module explicitly includes a 'use' line (which frankly is a bit wierd, it's 'using' itself it seems?)
I don't think that's ever going to work, unless the #INC path is changed - I can only assume that the loading of this module is handled elsewhere, without deconstructing source code.
Referencing the man page - this module gets loaded automatically as required. So you probably don't need to use it in the first place.
Edit: Just compared perl versions. Perl 5.8.5 shows the same behaviour. My 5.20.1 install doesn't.
I'm not sure upgrading perl is necessarily the right step, but it might be worth trying? I'll try and figure out why 5.20.1 works though. It's got to be something to do with handling of #INC.
Edit:
"The handling of return values of #INC filters (subroutines returned by subroutines in #INC) has been fixed in various ways. Previously tied variables were mishandled, and setting $_ to a reference or typeglob could result in crashes."
http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5200delta.html
I think that might be what the problem is.
You're certainly not alone in having this:
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/d5939816-a510-11e0-bd04-22322d9f2468
From:
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/MLEHMANN/AnyEvent-7.08/Changes
5.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
- convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
The error message was actually a very correct and forward pointer to what should be done : there is an EV package which needs to be installed separately :
$ sudo cpanm EV
--> Working on EV

After that, everything works :
$ cat test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use AnyEvent;
use EV;
my $wait_one_and_a_half_seconds = AnyEvent->timer (
after => 0.5, # after how many seconds to invoke the cb?
cb => sub { # the callback to invoke
print ("Hello from callback\n");
},
);
# now wait till our time has come
EV::run();
$ perl test.pl

I've been trying to install WWW::Mechanize::Firefox through CPAN and I am having trouble installing the dependency MozRepl. The installation goes through but the tests all fail, and when I force install it and run my perl script, I run into an error
Failed to connect to , at /Library/Perl/5.12/MozRepl/RemoteObject.pm line 467.
SO I uninstalled MozRepl and looked at the tests I get the following errors in the log:
# Failed test at t/10-plugin-repl-enter.t line 11.

etc..
I am running on Mac OSX 10.8.4, 4 GB Ram 2.5 Ghz, Perl version 5.12. Does anybody have any idea what is causing these errors?
UPDATE:
i reinstalled mozrepl, and now I get this error when i run my script:
Failed to connect to , problem connecting to "localhost", port 4242: Connection refused at /Users/thui/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.0/lib/site_perl/5.16.0/MozRepl/Client.pm line 144
This works for me with perl 5.10 or later, latest Firefox (26 as of writing) and Mozrepl from github.
At command propmpt:
(1) Download MozRepl and build the XPI file (Firefox extension):
git clone git://github.com/bard/mozrepl
cd mozrepl
zip -r ../mozrepl.zip *
cd ..
mv mozrepl.zip mozrepl.xpi
(2) Install the extension in Firefox via about:addons [Install from file].
In Firefox:
(3) Menu->Tools->Mozrepl->Activate On Startup
(4) Menu->Tools->Mozrepl->Start
At command propmpt:
(5) which firefox
Make sure the firefox executable (or your OS's wrapper script) is in $PATH - you should get some output!
(6) cpanm WWW::Mechanize::Firefox
(7) Test it!
At this point, if CPANminus reports no errors then WWW::Mechanize::Firefox should be working. The first example from the synopsis is a good test:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new();
$mech->get('http://google.com');
That assumes MozRepl is listening on port 4242 (check in Menu->Tools->Mozrepl->Change Port). You can also change the port from the perl side; see options for ->new().
(8) cpanm HTML::Display::Common
I found that bcat.pl from the examples required this module, but it wasn't installed as a dependency.
I have a Perl web application that runs on both Apache and IIS6 on Windows Server 2003. On Apache this script works just fine. In IIS using ISAPI, I am getting the following error message:
Software error:

When NOT using ISAPI in IIS it runs fine. We would prefer to continue using ISAPI in our IIS environments. Why can't it find this module, even though it does when running normal Perl?
EDIT:
We were calling it with relative paths.
use lib qw{My lib}; # line in question
use My::Schema; # explodes
Mobrule, your comment enlightened us. The relative path was different between using the vanilla Perl interpreter and ISAPI.
use lib qw{My /Inetpub/wwwroot/cgi/lib}; # a little more specific...
use My::Schema; # not nearly as much dying now.
Thanks for the help!
