Perl Programming Language :: Using CPAN to install Mail::Box module


	Using CPAN to install Mail::Box module I am using CPAN to install Mail::Box module. It can be installed on FC5, but always return errors on RHEL AS4. Here is the error log info. I only attached the tail part, because it's very long. /usr/bin/make -- OK Running make test Prepending /root/.cpan/build/TimeDate-1.16/blib/arch /root/.cpan/build/ TimeDate- 1.16/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/MailTools-1.77/blib/arch / root/.cpan/build/MailT ools-1.77/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/Font- AFM-1.19/blib/arch /root/.cpan/build/F ont-AFM-1.19/blib/lib / root/.cpan/build/User-Identity-0.91/blib/arch /root/.cpan /build/User- Identity-0.91/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/HTML-Format-2.04/blib/arch / root/.cpan/build/HTML-Format-2.04/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/HTML- Tree-3.23/bli b/arch /root/.cpan/build/HTML-Tree-3.23/blib/lib / root/.cpan/build/Digest-SHA1-2 .11/blib/arch /root/.cpan/build/Digest- SHA1-2.11/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/Mail -Box-Parser-C-3.006/blib/ arch /root/.cpan/build/Mail-Box-Parser-C-3.006/blib/lib /root/.cpan/ build/MIME-Types-1.19/blib/arch /root/.cpan/build/MIME-Types-1.19/b lib/lib /root/.cpan/build/Digest-HMAC-1.01/blib/arch /root/.cpan/build/ Digest-HM AC-1.01/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/IO-stringy-2.110/blib/ arch /root/.cpan/build/ IO-stringy-2.110/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/ Object-Realize-Later-0.16/blib/arch /root/.cpan/build/Object-Realize- Later-0.16/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/HTML-Pars er-3.56/blib/arch / root/.cpan/build/HTML-Parser-3.56/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/ File- Remove-0.34/blib/arch /root/.cpan/build/File-Remove-0.34/blib/lib / root/.cp an/build/Mail-Transport-Dbx-0.07/blib/arch /root/.cpan/build/ Mail-Transport-Dbx- 0.07/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/Time-HiRes-1.9707/ blib/arch /root/.cpan/build/Ti me-HiRes-1.9707/blib/lib to PERL5LIB.

Also I tried downloading the source code and the same errors as above are returned during "make" execution. I don't know where the problem is. There are tons of dependencies to have this module installed. Thanks.

I suspect you have an earlier version of Test::Harness that doesn't export "execute_tests" - as is the case with the version (2.56) of Test::Harness that I have. Updating Test::Harness should fix the problem. I would have thought that CPAN.pm would have detected this and first installed the latest version of Test::Harness before proceeding with building Mail::Box - but I don't use CPAN, so I don't really know what has happened there. Perhaps the latest version of Test::Harness did get installed, but into a different location than the old version, and the old version is still being found first ? (Dunno ... just speculating.)
