Re: Installing Net::SFTP

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply. I already have MIME::Base64. However, I decided  
to try to upgrade all the modules to see if that would help. What a  
mess. I have many modules that fail for a host of reason, mostly test  
failures.

Unfortunately, when I try 'force', the modules appear to install but  
when I check, they report the old version.

Some of the errors are downright bizarre. For example, something  
requires BerkeleyDB. But in order to install it, I apparently need a  
the new version of error.h.

BerkeleyDB.xs:74:2: error: #error db.h is from Berkeley DB 1.x - need  
at least Berkeley DB 2.6.4

So if this is a requirement then why does it not install it as a  
prereq? Where is it anyway. I found nothing that shows a version 2.6.4.

Other modules fail because they didn't run all the tests. Why not?

FWIW, here is the summary from the 'upgrade' command:

GOZER/mod_perl-1.30.tar.gz                   : make_test NO
 PMQS/BerkeleyDB-0.32.tar.gz                  : make NO
 VIPUL/Crypt-RSA-1.58.tar.gz                  : make_test NO
 CAPTTOFU/DBD-mysql-4.005.tar.gz              : make_test NO
 GAAS/Digest-1.15.tar.gz                      : make_test NO
 DANKOGAI/Encode-2.23.tar.gz                  : make_test NO
 GAAS/libwww-perl-5.808.tar.gz                : make_test NO
 TOMHUGHES/IO-Zlib-1.08.tar.gz                : make_test NO
 DONEILL/MIME-tools-5.425.tar.gz              : make_test NO
 JMASON/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.3.tar.gz        : writemakefile NO '/ 
usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL' returned status 256
 MBARBON/Wx-0.80.tar.gz                       : make NO
 NWCLARK/perl-5.8.8.tar.gz

As I said, force install tells me it worked but really didn't. Why is  
this rocket science just to get one module?

Thanks again.
