Installation deps

I have been going through trying to get all my deps in order. I have
narrowed it down to 5 remaining. I am running red hat 7.1 on RT2-0-14. All
these deps say that they are up to date when I run CPAN, yet the make
testdeps will not recognize them… Here is a typical install, followed by a
testdeps:

perl -MCPAN -e ‘install Params::Validate’

Any ideas what could be causing this?

The only explanation is that “perl” when run from root’s path, is
different from “/usr/bin/perl”.

What does “perl -V” say when run as root, and what does “/usr/bin/perl -V”
say?

I had a similar problem. Most likely thing that’s happened is that CPAN
has installed perl5.8.0 for you in /usr/local/bin - and your RT Makefile
still references old-perl in /usr/bin.

Change the line near the top of the Makefile to /usr/local/bin/perl and
everything should go smoothly.

Good luck,

All,
Is there a simple/non-simple way to track which scrips are firing on an
action? Having a small problem with duplicate emails being sent under
under certain circumstances and I’d like to fix it.

Cheers,
Alan.
