Thanks!

I wish I could just do this:
/usr/depot/sol8/perl/5.8.2/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install -notest Template'

I guess I need to talk to the CPAN modules guys about that feature.

Don't you hate when the tests fail? That usually

not go ahead and run the cpan interactive shell?
Just type 'cpan' and press enter. Follow the
directions and then you can easily install
modules like so:

cpan> install Template

but ... you will no doubt run into the same
problem. In those cases (or in the cases where
the test suite takes too damn long), issue:

cpan> look Template

instead and you will be taken to another shell
account where you will find youself inside a
untarred temp dir for the module. From here:

$perl Makefile.PL
$make
$make install

Since you have already downloaded the module from
you last command, you probably only need type the
last command.

Hope this helps, and comments/discussions about
this technique are more than welcome.

I tried to install Template via CPAN like this:

I get this error durring the make test part. Is
this a know error? If so what is the workaround (besides not using
Solaris)?


t/date...........ok 24/33Argument "%s" isn't

t/date...........FAILED test 25
         Failed 1/33 tests, 96.97% okay

I went and manually ran the t/date.t like this:
perl date.t

and got this more descriptive error:

Argument "%s" isn't numeric in localtime at
date.t line 66, <DATA> line 1.
MATCH FAILED
input: [[% USE day = date(format => '%A',
locale => 'en_GB') %]\n[%

output: [Tuesday]

expected not ok 25 - template text 11 did not match expected


I'm running perl 5.8.2 on a Sun Solaris
machine. Perl was built with gcc 2.95.3 in 32bit mode.


Out machine is configured for PST if that means
anything for this date problem.


I'm trying to move a bugzilla website over to
another machine and not being able to install Template is holding this
back. Any help would be welcome!


Thanks
