Hi Sherm,

Don't forget about the Bundle::Bricolage bundle on CPAN. Bricolage needs a *huge* number of modules, and the bundle is easier than installing them all one-by-one.

Thanks for the advice. I've actually already done that. It took quite a while, but I think in the end it worked out okay.


You can reinstall by doing a "force install". I.e:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'force install MIME::Parser'

I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I'd be tempted to do a "force install" on SOAP::Lite. MIME::Parser passed all of its own self-tests (on my machine), so a likely cause of the problem is that SOAP::Lite uses an API in MIME::Parser that has either been vanished or changed. Another possibility is simply that the self-tests are faulty - it happens.

I'm still in my training-wheels phase, so I'm a bit hesitant to force install until getting a second opinion--and now I've got it :) Thanks for the explanation as well.


BTW, I get the same results on my Linux machine - so it's not something you've done, or something wrong with your Mac.

Do you mean the MIME::Parser error or the other test failures as well? (Still am not sure what to do about those, though hopefully a force install takes care of it.)


It's definitely an issue with SOAP::Lite and the current version of MIME::Parser. Have you reported the problem to the SOAP::Lite maintainer(s)?

I haven't reported it, but I did notice that there was mention on the SOAP::Lite mailing list that one should really install a bleeding edge version of MIME::Tools that reportedly fixes this problem.

Thanks a lot for your response. You're explanation and suggestions are really helpful.

Cheers!
