#43741: cpan fails to install any module -----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: me@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: perl5.16 | -----------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by me@…): It occurs only when I try to install modules using the `cpan` command, which I've only done for modules that are not available as ports (specifically, IO::Socket::INET6). If I can get cpan to work I would prefer the one-command install to the lengthy process on the wiki page. Judging by the responses on [https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=121901 perl bug #121901], the problem is that the macports package `perl5 @5.12.4_0+perl5_16` includes a version of `/opt/local/bin/cpan` that is incompatible with perl 5.16.3. (My perl5.16 was installed as a dependency of perl5.) I have cpan version 2.05, but for perl 5.16.3 it should be cpan version 1.98. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43741#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
