From: Philip Newton Date: 11:16 on 26 May 2005 Subject: Don't install a different version than you promised! I wanted to install dbish, the DBI shell, on a Windows machine. One `ppm install DBI-Shell` later and I had a dbish. Yay! It also downloaded and installed some prerequisites, such as Test::Simple and Text::Reform v1.11. Or so I thought. The next time I started ppm, ten minutes later, it bombed with: "break_at" is not exported by the Text::Reform module Can't continue after import errors at C:/Programme/ActivePerl/site/lib/Text/Reform.pm line 43 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Programme/ActivePerl/site/lib/Text/Autoformat.pm line 9. Compilation failed in require at C:\Programme\ActivePerl\bin\ppm3-bin line = 12. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\Programme\ActivePerl\bin\ppm3-bin line 12. Looking in Text/Reform.pm, it appears that this is version 1.10 -- not 1.11! Even though ppm thinks it's version 1.11. And downloading Reform.pm v1.11 shows that it's a week older than the v1.10 that was installed by ppm. WTF? Hateful. --=20 Philip Newton <philip.newton@xxxxx.xxx>
