| somian | Hi cfedde |
| LeoNerd | GumbyBRAIN: Picture yourself on a boat on the river, with tangerine trees and marmelade skies |
| GumbyBRAIN | Simcop2387 is tempted to see yourself in a boat. |
| integral | There nice GUI tools like MMC where you don't need to remember cryptic commands; you just point & click! |
| cfedde | somian: howdy! integral: that mmakes it better? |
| integral | oh yes |
| roby | How do I go about installing CPAN modules for ActivePerl? Or specify a repository that contains pre-built CPAN modules? |
| somian | perlbot, life with cpan > roby |
| integral | You can use ppm to install prebuilt modules. Activestate now supports using a compiler if you install one |
| cfedde | roby: first you'll want to see if there is a ppm for it |
| roby | cfedde: there is, ppm ships with activeperl, but the modules i want from cpan are not in it. so I figured i need a link to a repository that contains pre-built CPAN modules |
| somian | Find PPM::Repositories on CPAN, roby |
| Daveman | How are you Leonard? |
| somian | cfedde *meant* "see if there is a ppm package file available" for what you want to install. <-- roby |
| roby | No, ppm does not have PerlIO::gzip :( |
| somian | Find PPM::Repositories on CPAN, roby |
| roby | oh |
| gushi | Hey all, I'm getting a bunch of odd errors in cpan, stuff like this: http://pastebin.ca/412124 |
| buubot | The paste 412124 has been copied to http://erxz.com/pb/1923 |
| somian | gushi: your question / statement is woefully incomplete. |
| gushi | I was wondering if the appearance of these errors are common and if it's possible to correct? |
| somian | Instead of fishing, why don't you try asking a smart question, gushi. |
| gushi | How do I fix these errors, because I suspect they're causing other problems as well? |
| somian | A person who wanted to try to help you would want to know for example, if you compiled your own Perl. |
| gushi | perl was installed with the base OS, this is Mandriva linux. |
| Matsy | Gushi Google can help out Like REALLY well :p The first hit on google will fix it. |
| somian | It seems like a Mandriva packaging error then. |
| Ani-_ | The first hit?! |
| somian | gushi: no this is neither a "common" nor a "easy" error situation. |
| Matsy | Yeah. |
| Ani-_ | How can the first hit help me? You don't know what I entered as search string! :) |
| Matsy | oh |
