[rt-users] RT Gentoo and conflicting perl module versions

[Roland, Ryan M]

I'm installing RT 3.2.1 on Gentoo and I was running across an error when I
first try to access the web interface.  I get a server error, and the apache
error log (see below) complains of incorrect perl module version.  When I go
and look at the filesystem, I find two files:

.../perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux/MIME/QuotedPrint.pm
and
.../perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux/MIME/QuotedPrint.pm

Now I'm not real familiar with the perl environment, but I notice that one
is v3.03 and the other is v3.01.  However, when I run:

# perl -e 'use MIME::QuotedPrint; print "$MIME::QuotedPrint::VERSION\n"'
> 3.03

So it appears that apache/mod_perl/RT is seeing a different version of this
module than the CLI.  Not sure how that happens or a good workaround (other
than deleting the 3.01 version) - and I'm not sure of any adverse effects of
that method.

I've found this bug that seems to be related:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69625

But it doesn't appear to have been resolved. Thoughts? 

Secondly, just as a commendation, the ebuild for 3.2.1 is stellar.  Kudos to
Renat for that godsend!  Any ideas regarding 3.2.2 or 3.2.3 or should we
just wait for 3.4.0?


Thanks,
