A series of misadventures that began nicely enough with a successful cvs up of my pkgsrc tree, followed by an uneventful run of pkg_rolling-update has however left me with a new perl5, as noted ver. 5.30.0, that appears not to have finished its build.
My attention was aroused when I tried what is pretty much the most basic and elementary command for using ikiwiki: # ikiwiki -setup /home/wingnut/MyIkiwiki.setup ...which spawned this error message: Can't locate LWP.pm in @INC (you may need to install the LWP module) (@INC contains: /home/bob/.ikiwiki /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30.0/x86_64-netbsd-thread-multi /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30.0 /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.30.0/x86_64-netbsd-thread-multi /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.30.0 /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.30.0/x86_64-netbsd-thread-multi /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.30.0) at (eval 169) line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 169) line 1. My first build of ikiwiki a month or so ago utilized perl ver. 5.28.0, and ran wonderfully with our own bozohttpd. Tonight's "misadventures" rebuilt ikiwiki with perl ver. 5.30.0. The truant module, LWP.pm is still in /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.28.0, but /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.30.0 appears not to have been finished. Those dirs, above, look like this: perl/5.28.0 total 196 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Sep 8 16:53 Apache drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Sep 8 16:47 B drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 512 Sep 8 16:52 DateTime

have supplied enough information to permit someone who knows perl to see what I might try to get the 5.30 dir to look like the 5.28 one, so ikiwiki can find LWP.pm.
