Scalar::Util

Anyone ever seen this when doing a “make testdeps”?

Scalar::Util not detected - container() method not available

I looked for it on CPAN, but it said that the latest version came with
Perl 5.8.0 and would only install if I did a force.

What a coincidence, I have been searching for that all afternoon. I’m
using FreeBSD 4.4 and Perl 5.005. Seems like something that
HTML::Mason says, but that is as far as I have looked.

I saw it and went ahead and installed Scalar::Util with perl5.6.1 -MCPAN
-e ‘install Scalar::Util’ . Then I ran make testdep again and it had gone
away.

Of course, that was two days ago when I was working with 5.6.1. :slight_smile: (Are
you on 5.6.1 or 5.8.0?)

I tried that, but when run, it just refuses to install Scalar::Util.
When I try with “force”, it wants to go ahead and install PERL 5.8.0 !

This is on FreeBSD 4.6, with Perl 5.6.1 in /usr/local/bin/perl
and /usr/bin/perl linked to that temporarily.

Is Scalar::Util really only part of 5.8 ?

What else can be done ?

Tried upgrading CPAN first?

perl -MCPAN -e ‘install CPAN’

(as per http://fsck.com/rtfm/article.html?id=5#60).

If you aren’t using Perl 5.8.0, you can grab
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Scalar/Scalar-List-Utils-1.0701.tar.gz,
and do the standard “perl Makefile.PL; make test install” magic. It
works just fine with 5.6.0+.
