Mod perl/cpan/RT

Ever since I upgraded to perl5.8 I’ve been having trouble with my perl
modules.

I recompiled modperl with apache. (modperl 1.28 /apache 1.3.28)

Using CPAN to install (or rt-depencey-install) missing perl mod’s the make
will continue to bomb out. I’m missing my apache::request and dbd::mysql
…I know it has something to do with my modperl, but I can’t figure out
what.

Why isn’t modperl/cpan working?

here is a snipet of the failed make. :

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl
"-MExtUtils::Command::MM" “-e” “test_harness(0,
‘blib/lib’, ‘blib/arch’)” t/.t
t/…t/*.t does not exist
FAILED–1 test script could be run, alas–no output
ever seen
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2
/usr/bin/make test – NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won’t install
without force

here is a snippet of perl -v

Upgraded from what version? Did you tell perl5.8 to maintain binary
compatibility?

You probably want to recompile all compiled modules (ie, those that
create .so files). The ones that are purely perl don’t need to be
recompiled.
