[rt-users] Installing prerequisite perl modules

[Greg.Hering at bench.com]

Dear Forrest,

	I have had repeated problems with newer modules installed by CPAN being ignored by CPAN.  I have found that if a module is already installed in the default <whatever>/lib/perl5/<module-stuff> CPAN then installs the new module in <whatever>/lib/perl5/site_perl/<module-stuff> but still thinks the module is out of date (when doing CPAN 'r' recommend option).

	If I manually remove the one at the higher level, usually the older one ( find . -name <module.pm> -exec grep VERSION {} \; ), then the problem seems to be fixed for that module.  I have been having to do this for each module to get CPAN to think it's updated.

	I don't know if this is your problem, but I have tried posting to 'CPAN-testers' and 'perl-beginners' and don't have an answer yet.

	The script to 'test-deps' uses CPAN and also looks for specific versions, so a <*-dev> might not be recognized by RT.

HTH.

Greg

Subject: [rt-users] Installing prerequisite perl modules

I'm starting to install RT3.

When installing the prerequisites, via the provided script, I'm running 
into a problem with libapreq-1.1.   I have mod_perl installed (FreeBSD-4.8) 
as bsdpan-mod_perl-1.27_01-dev, but this module insists upon downloading 
mod_perl-1.27 - and it's not clear to me why it's not finding the mod_perl 
that I have installed, or if I can override that with a variable?


Thanks.
