I'm trying to install Date::Manip::Date, which requires YAML::Syck. I'm running Cygwin on Windows XP.

Both packages fail their make tests. I have installed other packages sucessfully, such as Text::CSV, Text::CSV_XS and Text::CSV::Simple

I've tried installing both packages separately, and also together (i.e. 'yes' when it asks to prepend the dependency). I've run 'clean' on the packages before trying each different type of installation.

Finally, in a fit of frustration, I forced the installations (e.g. 'cpan -fi YAML::Syck') and, though the make test failed, the installation completed with apparentt success.

When running the script that requires Date::Manip::Date, I get the following error:

Not a HASH reference at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/Date/Manip/Base.pm line 1585, <DATA> line 496.

Here's the relevant bit from Base.pm

# This takes a list of words and creates a simple regexp which matches
# any of them.
#
# The first word in the list is the default way to express the word using
# a normal ASCII character set.
#
# The second word in the list is the default way to express the word using
# a locale character set. If it isn't defined, it defaults to the first word.
#
sub _rx_wordlist {
   my($self,$ele) = @_;

   if (exists $$self{'data'}{'lang'}{$ele}) {        # <--- Line 1585
      my @tmp = @{ $$self{'data'}{'lang'}{$ele} };

      $$self{'data'}{'wordlistA'}{$ele} = $tmp[0];
      if (defined $tmp[1]  &&  $tmp[1]) {
         $$self{'data'}{'wordlistL'}{$ele} = $tmp[1];
      } else {
         $$self{'data'}{'wordlistL'}{$ele} = $tmp[0];
      }

      my @tmp2;
      foreach my $tmp (@tmp) {
         push(@tmp2,"\Q$tmp\E")  if ($tmp);
      }
      @tmp2  = sort _sortByLength(@tmp2);

      $$self{'data'}{'rx'}{$ele} = join('|',@tmp2);

   } else {
      $$self{'data'}{'rx'}{$ele} = undef;
   }
}

This is what I'm guessing is the relevant portion of the script I'm calling.

my $date=new Date::Manip::Date;
if ($date->parse( join(' ', @ARGV) )) {
    die "Invalid Date '",join(' ', @ARGV),"'\n";
}

When installing, the errors were mostly along the lines of this:

t/1-basic.t ................... 1/11
#   Failed test at t/1-basic.t line 9.
#          got: 'ARRAY(0x101808a8)'
#     expected: 'Hello, world'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 11.
t/1-basic.t ................... Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)

I can't actually reproduce the installation experience right now, because if I try to install now (after forcing them to install) it says they're up to date. However, I did copy the results from one of my attempts at installing YAML::Syck

I have found that trying to use CPAN with cygwin is more bother than it is worth. I ended up ignoring cygwin's perl. I installed Strawberry perl and told cygwin to use that instead.

It's not perfect but fails to build a lot less CPAN modules than the native cygwin perl.

  • I gave that a try, but ran into issues getting Strawberry perl working correctly with cygwin. It worked intermittently, and did seem better, though.

I ended up getting the script working by copying a coworker's lib/perl5 folder. Not an actual solution to the problem, but the important thing is I can run the scripts I need to now. :/

  1. Report bug here: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=YAML-Syck

  2. Try installing an older version: cpan TODDR/YAML-Syck-1.14.tar.gz
