Is this undefined subroutine really the source of the problem?
If so,
can someone either:
a) tell me which linux distro has a rt-compatible Scalar/Util.pm by
default
Do you have a C compiler? Scalar::Util cannot build weaken
without it.
I have a debian box where the broken Scalar::Util was installed but
cpan was able to install a new version that did work.
I do have gcc. I did try last week to rebuild Scalar::Util by
reinstalling it via CPAN,
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Scalar::Util
quit
but the resultant Util.pm still didn't have a defined 'sub weaken'. I
didn't pay much attention to what cpan actually did, so I tried again
today:
1) I deleted any Scalar/Util.pm I could find (and there were 3
different
copies, in various places beneath /usr/local/)
2) i started up the cpan shell (perl -MCPAN -e shell), which told me
there was a newer version of CPAN available. I installed it, and
reloaded it.
3) within the shell, i typed:
make clean Scalar::Util
install Scalar::Util
This time, I paid attention to what cpan was saying. It appears to
have
failed, but I have no clue why/how. It seems to be saying it can't
find
Scalar/Util.pm. Here are the last 30 or 40 lines of output from it:

I'll assume you've done something like remove the ubuntu Scalar::Util
package?
That would make YAML unhappy
Try to just download Scalar::Util from http://search.cpan.org/dist/
Scalar-List-Utils/
and run perl Makefile.PL && make && make test && make install manually.
If you do that, you can also convince yourself that things are happy
by running
prove -lv t/weak.t to test weaken()

If you don't see Util.so, it didn't build properly.
You don't need to rebuild perl, just Scalar::Util.
Ok, got that. Thanks. As you can see above, I'm having trouble
rebuilding Scalar::Util. Any ideas?
Thanks
