pod2text again
I've upgraded to RH 6 on my machine (don't ask me why :), and discovered that new Perl package lacks pod2text, which is required for building some packages (e.g., DBD::mysql). Since someone asked about this here, here is the solution: install package Pod::SimpleText and link pod2txt to pod2text. The pod2text (or, more precisely, Pod-Text convertor) got rewritten, just nobody seems to notice it until something breaks. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] \/ There shall be counsels taken Stanislav Malyshev /\ Stronger than Morgul-spells phone +972-3-9316425/\ JRRT LotR. http://sharat.co.il/frodo/ whois:!SM8333

Aww, just
# cat/usr/bin/pod2text
#!/usr/bin/perl
eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
if $running_under_some_shell;
use Pod::Text;
if(@ARGV) {
pod2text($ARGV[0]);
} else {
pod2text("STDIN");
}
already :-)
perl -le 'print "Just another \u$^X hacker,"'

Re: pod2text again
GY Aww, just GY# cat/usr/bin/pod2text But pod2txt seems to be more than that. The Pod::SimpleText is a rewrite of ::Text, which claims to fix, among other, a number of bugs. SimpleText uses PodParser, while ::Text is standalone. I guess that's why binary got removed - to make users upgrade ;) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] \/ There shall be counsels taken Stanislav Malyshev /\ Stronger than Morgul-spells phone +972-3-9316425/\ JRRT LotR. http://sharat.co.il/frodo/ whois:!SM8333

If it does not require any special settings (make, make instal...) then can you pls send it 2 me ? i'm trying to compile the MySQL-PERL interface and it keeps getting errors because of it :- pod2text should come with your perl. Did you build and install perl yourself, or did you get some prepackaged version? Maybe you have pod2text but outside your path? Can you post the output of 'perl -V' ? -- believing is seeing [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.forum2.org/gaal/
