RE: URI module problems

Robert, We will be installing perl version 5.8.6 soon, and I'm hoping it will help me get out of dependency hell with these modules. My ultimate goal is to get the "CPAN" module up and running so I can automate the downloading and installing of perl modules; my frustration level is getting too high to continue these manual installs. I never have had a problem with most of the modules I've installed, but, lately, it seems to be getting more difficult. Our current perl version is 5.6.1, which is why I installed the "Storable" module. Here are the test results for URI: PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 -e 'use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.t t/abs...............ok t/clone.............ok t/data..............ok t/escape............ok, 2/9 skipped: perl-5.8 required t/file..............ok t/ftp...............ok t/generic...........ok t/heuristic.........ok t/http..............ok t/ldap..............ok t/mailto............ok t/mix...............ok t/mms...............ok t/news..............ok t/old-absconf.......ok t/old-base..........ok t/old-file..........ok t/old-relbase.......ok t/pop...............ok t/query-param.......ok t/query.............ok t/rel...............ok t/rfc2732...........ok t/roy-test..........ok t/rsync.............ok t/rtsp..............ok t/sip...............ok t/split.............ok t/storable..........FAILED tests 1-3 Failed 3/3 tests, 0.00% okay t/urn-isbn..........skipped: Needs the Business::ISBN module installed t/urn-oid...........ok Failed Test Status Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- t/storable.t 3 3 100.00% 1-3 1 test and 2 subtests skipped.

John (John), 'Storable' is part of the Perl standard distribution now, so I wonder why it has to be installed separately. What version of Perl do you use? Maybe it would give _us_ also a better indication of what the problem is if you share the output of 'make test' of the module in question? \rho
