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...
requires:
! Class::Load is not installed
build_requires:
! Class::Load is not installed
! Module::Implementation is not installed
! Test::Fatal is not installed
! Test::Requires is not installed
ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES. You may wish to install the versions
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.

I've a problem to install the aforementioned module via cpanm in my multi-threading version of Perl (not the original one).
I've Ubuntu 16.04.
When trying to compile and test this module it gives me the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: impossible to find -lz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:494: instructions set for target "blib/arch/auto/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.so" fail
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.so] Error 1
-> FAIL Installing Net::SSLeay::Handle failed. See /home/my_name/.cpanm/work/1548275319.13675/build.log for details. Retry with --force to force install it.
openssl,ssllib-dev-perl,libnet-ssleay-perl, libcrypt-ssleay-perl already installed via apt-get.
I've also tried to compile manually this module, without success. I forced the installation too...no way.
The error seems linked with something missing in /usr/bin/ld: (impossible to find -lz collect2).
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
Cpanm has always worked pretty well. Up to now i've been able to get all my modules installed and well functioning, apart from Net::SSLeay::Handle.
Thanks in advace for your help
Ok, i solved by installing this packages (Ubuntu 16.04LTS):
-openssl
-libssl-dev
-libnet-ssleay-perl
-libcrypt-ssleay-perl
-zlib1g-dev as suggested above
Once you're done doing that, remember to avoid testing the module when gcc will be finishing compiling it, because in most cases it fails.
So the best incantation in doing this should be as follows:
-cpanm install -v --notest Net::SSLeay::Handle
Many thanks again to all Perl mates writing in this forum.
You saved the day
first log in cpan
sudo cpan
force intalling the module should work
force install Net::SSLeay::Handle
This should also install missing modules or notice it
My perl version is 5.16.2 on my Windows 7 64bit, I failed to install PAR:Packer. I tried active perl and strawberry perl , both got the same error. Can you please give me some suggestion. Below is my experience:
I tried ppm install PAR:Packer, version 1.013, But when I use pp, I got the error:
Perl lib version (5.16.2) doesn't match executable version (v5.16.0).
I also tried cpan install PAR:Packer, version 1.014. But I got the error during installation. The pop up window says: par.exe has stopped working. Then command prompt got the error:
C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe -Mblib run_with_inc.pl par.exe -q -B -Oparldyn.exe
system(par.exe -I C:\Users\PAR-Packer-1.014\blib\arch -I C:\Users\PAR-Packer-1.014\blib\lib - IC:/Perl64/site/lib -IC:/Perl64/lib -I. -q -B -Oparldyn.exe) failed:
dmake.exe: Error code 255, while making 'parldyn.exe'
dmake.exe: Error code 255, while making 'subdirs'
I have googled extensively, but as of yet haven't been able to find a solution, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!
I simply changed the line 60 in .../perl64/Config.pm from
`$^V eq 5.16.3`
to
`$^V eq 5.16.3 or $^V eq 5.16.0`
and voila! My par-packer module 1.013 installed through ppm (ActiveState Perl 5.16.3) works ...
I'll start off with my own environment:
Windows 7 x64 en_US
Strawberry Perl v5.16.2 32bit
I just confirmed that I do have PAR::Packer working on my environment. I'm running PAR::Packer version 1.014.
There is a bug logged about PAR::Packer 1.013 failing to build on certain environments. The bug is logged on CPAN here: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=77408
I recommend trying one of the following paths forward (based on your build version requirements):
Install PAR::Packer 1.0.14.
Install the patched version of PAR::Packer 1.013 that is available at http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/perl-modules-patched/PAR-Packer-1.013_patched.tar.gz
To build you will need any dependencies as well. Hopefully those work just fine through CPAN.
Download either the patched version listed above or the latest version from the CPAN site, then execute:
perl Makefile.pl
dmake
dmake test
dmake install
Keep in mind PAR::Packer requires a C/C++ compiler to build.
I ran into this exact same error scenario with Perl 5.16.3 on my Windows 7 64 bit machine. I started my Perl tinkering with ActiveState and later installed other related programs like Komodo Edit and finally installed StrawberryPerl. After reading quite a few of these online posts I tried the manual dmake methods and whatever other suggestions I could find. I then tried uninstalling ActiveState. That didn't help either. Finally, I went on an uninstall binge and found that after uninstalling all of the ActiveState and Komodo applications (along with a bunch of other stuff I wasn't using anymore) I was able to successfully install and use pp in two simple steps from the cpan prompt:
install CPAN
install pp
I was going to uninstall and re-install StrawberryPerl next but didn't have to. The install CPAN may not be necessary but it was suggested in the log output in one of my previously failed attempts so I figured I'd try that first. Hope this saves someone all the hassle I went to as a begginer.
XML::Parser fails to build on a quite fresh 64-bit Debian box. After issuing cpan XML::Parser, cpan fails with lots of errors about Expat.c and Expat.xs:

Message at the start of the output explains that expat-devel is needed for building.
Expat must be installed prior to building XML::Parser and I can't find
it in the standard library directories. Install 'expat-devel' package with your
OS package manager. See 'README'.
But expat-devel is not in Debian repository.
Is it possible to get over this without need to build/install expat from source?
The package you want to install is named libexpat1-dev. You could also just install libxml-parser-perl via apt-get. Or if you really want to install via CPAN try installing the Debian packages dependencies first via apt-get build-dep libxml-parser-perl.
libexpat1-dev contains both libexpat and expat.h, which are both mentioned in the message as well:
If expat is installed, but in a non-standard directory, then use the
following options to Makefile.PL:
EXPATLIBPATH=... To set the directory in which to find libexpat
EXPATINCPATH=... To set the directory in which to find expat.h
Installing libexpat1-dev seems to solve the problem:
$ aptitude install libexpat1-dev
There is always the manual method - to build/install expat from source.
(This example shows installing to an alternative location for XAMPP | LAMPP)

Work like a charm in Ubuntu 15.04. The only thing that I need is install Perl XML Parser with:
sudo apt-get install libxml-parser-perl
And following the instructions here, I was able to import successfully all my ratings into Rhythmbox. Now, the only work that I need to do is create again the smart play lists, that is nothing compared with my entire libray ratings.
Today I had the same issue wanting to complile the new GIMP 2.9.4 beta on OSX 10.8 and the aid of homebrew.
First install perl
brew install perl
Then the XML::Parser module by going into the perl shell with
perl -MCPAN -e shell
And inside the shell install XML::Parser by typing
install XML::Parser
Exit shell
exit
Now, verify it has been installed successfully. If everything is ok, you will not see an error.
perl -e "require XML::Parser"
If the ./configure still fails missing XML::Parser, then intltools is not using the perl you have installed. Looking at the script tells me it does the test with $INTLTOOL_PERL -e "require XML::Parser". Trying a echo $INTLTOOL_PERL gave out nothing, so the magic is to set it with
export $INTLTOOL_PERL=perl
Now run ./configure again.
None of the above methods worked for me. I had the right environment variables setup but they were somehow not picked up by cpanm that I use to install perl modules. Expat was also installed.
Here is what I did to overcome the same problem that OP is reporting.
This is very close to what #LadyBuzz suggested.
Download the XML::Parser from cpan.org
Extract the tarball into directory and descend to it.
Open the Makefile.pl and edit the first lines to actually have the absolute paths to both: EXPATLIBPATH and EXPATINCPATH
Save the Makefile.pl, go up one level and create a new tarball with the Makefile.pl that you just edited.
Execute cpanm on the newly created tarball.
This resulted in successful installation of the module.
I tried running:
perl -e "use Error;"
from cmd in windows 7. (active perl 5.12 installed on system) and I am getting the error
Can't locate Error.pm in #INC (#INC
contains: C:/Perl64/site/lib
C:/Perl64/lib )
I manually searched and found Error.pm in C:/Perl64/lib/CPANPLUS.
Does anyone have an idea what could be going on here?
You have to install the module Error that can be found on CPAN.
But be aware of this warning:
Using the "Error" module is no longer recommended due to the black-magical
nature of its syntactic sugar, which often tends to break. Its maintainers
have stopped actively writing code that uses it, and discourage people from
doing so. See the "SEE ALSO" section below for better recommendations.
lib/CPANPLUS/Error.pm is a core "CPANPLUS::Error" module. It is used by CPANPLUS. If you want to use non-core "Error" module, you need to install it. Do "ppm install Error". Also, you can use similar modules Try::Tiny and TryCatch. They are non-core too, so you also would need to install them.
I'm on CentOS 7.3, and I have git-1.8.3.1-23 and perl-Error-0.17014-1 rpm packages installed and still got this error. I didn't want to mess with installing perl modules via CPAN. I figured out the path where perl-Error is installed (rpm -ql perl-Error) and am now running git commands like so:
PERL5LIB="/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8" git add -p someFile.sh
This works fine for me. Note that the path may be different for you.
On Centos 8, you can installing perl-Error to get this module:
sudo dnf install perl-Error
you could set PERL5LIB to prepend a directory to #INC
PERL5LIB="C:/Perl64/lib/CPANPLUS"
I forget how to set env variables permanently in windows (or if this is even the right syntax for the shell.)
also to see your #INC perl -V
It is obviosly some Perl extensions. Perl version is 5.8.8.
I found Error.pm, but now I'm looking for Core.pm.
While we're at it: how do you guys search for those modules. I tried Google, but that didn't help much. Thanks.
And finally, after I built everything, running:
./Build install
gives me:
Running make install-lib
/bin/ginstall -c -d /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i486-linux-thread-multi/Alien/SVN --prefix=/usr
/bin/ginstall: unrecognized option `--prefix=/usr'
Try `/bin/ginstall --help' for more information.
make: *** [install-fsmod-lib] Error 1
installing libs failed at inc/My/SVN/Builder.pm line 165.
Looks like Slackware's 'ginstall' really does not have that option. I think I'm going to Google a little bit now, to see how to get around this.
Base class package "Module::Build" is empty.
(Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first.)
at inc/My/SVN/Builder.pm line 5
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at inc/My/SVN/Builder.pm line 5.
Compilation failed in require at Build.PL line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 6.
is a (rather poor) way of asking you to install Module::Build.
Once you do that, it's
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install
how do you guys search for those modules
http://search.cpan.org/
now I'm looking for Core.pm
That’s SVN::Core, which is a bit of a problem. Try installing Alien::SVN from CPAN. That worked for me on my freshly installed Slackware 12.0 on my laptop, but I have yet to get it to install on my workstation.
It should be compatible. The CPAN Tester's matrix shows no failures for Perl 5.8.8 on any platform.
Per the README, you can install it by doing:
perl Makefile.pl
make
make test
make install
I'm guessing you're running on Slackware so the cpan command is what you want to be using to install any Perl modules. It will pull in all dependencies for you. If you're running it for the first time it will have to do some cofiguration, but newer versions of cpan will ask if you want it to automatically configure it.
$ sudo cpan
cpan> install Alien::SVN
Additionally, if there's a package management application for Slackware, you should try that first to install new Perl modules.
https://metacpan.org/ is your first port of call for Perl modules.
What do you mean by "does not seem to be compatible"? Can you post the error message?
If the latest version does not work, you can select an older version in the "other releases" drop down and download that.
Edit: to those reading this, the author updated the question, so my answer seems a bit out of left field :)
The place to search is http://search.cpan.org.
I have my browser (Firefox) set up so that I can type "cpan foo" in the address bar and it will search CPAN for modules matching "foo." You can do this with either a keyword bookmark or by assigning a keyword to a search plugin.
