RT3/perl problem

I’ve got RT3 up and running, but whenever I try to create
a ticket, i get the following errors (in the browser):

error: Error during compilation of /usr/local/rt/rt/share/html/Ticket/Elements/ShowTransaction:

The Text::Autoformat module is up to date, so I’m not sure what else
problem may be. Any ideas?

Thanks,

The \p pattern requires perl-5.8.

Ouch! And Text::Autoformat only requires 5.005 in the file itself.
Has anyone filed a bug report with the author on that?

This may not be the BEST place for this, but… for a fresh RT install;

Are there people who run ‘make fixdeps’ and it works without ANY bugs?

I have had some packages that I can’t install when trying to load the recommended updates (i.e. cpan> r)

I’m talking about uninstalling perl 5.005, which comes with my system, installing perl 5.8.0 and then trying to get all the latest packages. After the install, run ‘perl -MCPAN -eshell’ and configure it for desired CPAN archives and local make and ftp utils, etc. Then, I think it suggests you update the cpan module right away, which I do. Then you ask for it’s recommendations and start updating. Is that too aggressive?

DBI, DBD and Apache bundles specifically HAVE to be installed and the non-total-perl-guru (me, et-others) cringe in dismay when the packages fail ‘make test’. The only general fix I’ve seen is making sure the LANG=en_US.

If this is widespread, maybe a list of known good packages, and a method to get those other than the default CPAN install, which gets the latest, should be developed.

What about archiving known goodies on a pub ftp site just for RT users?

What about a list of packages that fail testing but it’s OK to force install.

Any thoughts (besides ‘stop whining’!)?

Sincerely,

Greg

The \p pattern requires perl-5.8.

Or, apparently, “utf8” :

I had the same problem,
I edited: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Text/Autoformat.pm
and put “use utf8” at the top. That seemed to sort it out =)

Trying to put “use utf8” at the beginning of various RT pages wasn’t
working, so I thought I’d go right to the source.On Fri, 2003-05-16 at 06:44, Charlie Wiseman wrote:
