I’ve been using Mason for many, many years now on CentOS 5 and have decided to
upgrade the server to CentOS 6.4. I’ve added the rpmforge repository to my
CentOS 6 installation. The rpmforge repository contains a pre-built Mason
image. I’ve attempted to install it using “yum install perl-HTML-Mason” but
get an error that Log::Any isn’t available. OK, so I perform a “yum search
log-any” and find nothing. Given that it doesn’t appear to be available
through yum, I then install Log::Any using cpan, but the HTML::Mason install
still thinks that it’s not there even though a perl –e ‘use Log::Any’ now
confirms its presence.
Now, on the Perl Monks forum I received an excellent suggestion to use Perlbrew
to install a separate perl instance. That way I can get modules from CPAN and
make this all work. However, when I do that, and use “cpan HTML::Mason”, cpan
tries to build it and it fails all over the place. If it did get this to work,
it would also require me to rebuild mod_perl, which I also don’t really know
how to do properly.
I guess my question is, shouldn’t a pre-build HTML::Mason on rpmforge install
properly in a CentOS 6.4 installation? I know that HTML::Mason is now frowned
upon in favor of Mason 2, but I have to get a new server in place for some huge
existing projects and don’t really have the resources at the moment to
undertake a migration. Is there some way to make the HTML::Mason yum install
know that Log::Any is really there even though it wasn’t installed through yum?
Any other suggestions maybe from people who use Mason on CentOS 6?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! More greatly than you know...
