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

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.

I'm trying to install the SQL::Translator module. Everything runs fine until it gets to this test:
DBD::SQLite::db do failed: not an error at t/sqlite-rename-field.t line 62.
# Failed test '-- Convert schema '' to '':;'
# at t/sqlite-rename-field.t line 62.

# Looks like you failed 1 test of 16.
Failed 1/72 test programs. 1/1901 subtests failed.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 1
Any help is much appreciated, I was not able to find any similar questions. Thanks.
cpan link: http://search.cpan.org/~ilmari/SQL-Translator-0.11021/lib/SQL/Translator.pm
It could be because of missing dependencies and/or mismatch in version of other perl modules. Try using CPANM to install your desired package. It will take care of dependencies for you.
You can also try to install libsql-translator-perl library if you are on debian based systems. I am sure there will be a compatible library on red hat based systems too.
Also if you want to install from cpan then use CPANM to install the module.
Personally i prefer to use distro libraries in place of installing modules.
In case anyone stumbles across this question, my solution was:
install perlbrew
install latest version of perl via perlbrew
download required libraries
install module
It was much easier than dealing with the older system
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.
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 tried to install SOAP::WSDL on Ubuntu 8.04 Server through CPAN but got the following error message:

I have the latest versions of Class::Std::Fast and Module::Build::Compat:

Any idea how to solve the problem? Perhaps I need to downgrade Class::Std::Fast to version 0.0.5?
Long story short, it looks like your CPAN installation is preferring to use the compatibility Makefile.PL instead of the Build.PL. It should prefer the Build.PL. The Makefile.PLs were intended for compatibility only and may not have all the features of Module::Build, such as supporting three part versions.
Fire up cpan. o conf will let you see your configuration. If prefer_installer isn't set to MB then do o conf prefer_installer MB. You may have to o conf commit to save it (it will tell you). You may also have to install Module::Build, either from the libmodule-build-perl package or from CPAN.
Bug reported to SOAP::WSDL.
PS You can work around this by installing Class::Std::Fast first, download SOAP::WSDL manually, edit the Build.PL to remove that dependency, and run cpan . in SOAP::WSDL's directory to install it and its deps.
What is your CPAN version? And configuration? (o conf at the cpan shell prompt.)
Hmm, that all looks ok. Unless for some reason CPAN wasn't able to load Module::Build?
Can you try the install again from a fresh CPAN shell, with no previous commands?
Or try doing a manual install without using CPAN.pm?
Try it,
cpan Module::Build
and
cpan Module::Build::Compat
And I forget to say something, the Ubuntu modify the packages if you are trying to install modules with root user, forget. Try again with local::lib.
After you do it, do:
cpan install CPAN
and finally,
cpan upgrade
It should solve your problem.
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.)
