Hi,
I've seen a recommendation on this list for Debian for running perl apps,
and recently I started to use this distro.
I've seen that I can install perl modules very hard under Debian if I use
the CPAN shell.
For example if I run
$ cpan
cpan> install Class::MOP
it gives an "Unknown error" and it doesn't want to install and the same
with Catalyst::Runtime.
But if I do then
cpan> look ModuleName
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$make install
I can install the modules without problem (usually).
However, I need to manually install each dependency.
I've seen this strange thing under 2 Debian systems so I think it is not a
Debian bug.
Does this happen to you? If yes, how do you solve it?
Thank you.
Octavian
My Debian steps are:
(as root)
1. Upgrade CPAN (Bundle::CPAN)
2. Upgrade CPANPLUS
3. Upgrade/Install Module::Install
4. Upgrade/Install Module::Build
5. Install local::lib
(as app user)
6. Install deps for application
I've never had a problem with things not building doing this, but haven't
tried other ways.

I guess your installing the deps for the application using local::lib,
right?
Good idea. Is there a way of using Makefile.PL of the application to
automaticly install all the dependencies using local::lib?
Thanks.
Octavian
