Try installing Scalar::Util by hand, or from a CPAN shell -- that module and a few others don't seem to like being installed as dependencies by many modules.
few perl modules make it to debian packages, fewer are timely. debian was notorious for a long time from having extremely out of date packages. you could try using the ubuntu ports system -- its far better maintained than debian. i've heard that regular debian machines can use them - I don't know the validity of that. there could also be a verison of rose in unstable. other than that, i'd suggest installing from source or cpan. there are only 2 real differences between a real install ( cpan / source ) and a .deb : where the files go, and if the files are hooked into an upgrade system (other than cpan's own ) On Mar 17, 2007, at 9:44 PM, Jeff Chimene wrote: > Hi, > > I'd like to evaluate Rose::DB::Object for use w/ Catalyst.
