continuing to play with the cygwin64 perl blead that I built on Aug-12th.
I mentioned the strange infinite loop in the questioning of gpg tool;
haven't had time to research why that happened, yet. I'm trying to get
basic reporting facilities up, as I have yet to report a single cygwin
report. All of my testing is failing within configure so force does not
help and of course they don't get reported.
As I mentioned before I have to be cognizant of the environment variables
shared with my windows strawberry perl.
This means at first I was tried all these options with PERL_YAML_BACKEND
and PERL_JSON_BACKEND set...which didn't work. So I've also tried
unsetting them, ensuring they were not in env/set output, and trying to
install again.
It appears that PERL_YAML_BACKEND defaults to YAML when no value is set.
the issue it seems resides within: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.21.3/CPAN/Meta.pm
$backend = Parse::CPAN::Meta->yaml_backend();
$data = eval { no strict 'refs'; &{"$backend\::Dump"}($struct) };
if ( $@ ) {
croak $backend->can('errstr') ? $backend->errstr : $@
}
# running Build.PL
Could not load PERL_YAML_BACKEND 'YAML'
at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.21.3/CPAN/Meta.pm line 613.
I've tried forcing installing YAML::XS, YAML, YAML::Tiny, YAML::Old,
JSON::XS, JSON
They all give me a similar error about the backend not being there; what
am I missing? Do I need to be bootstrapping these files manually?
Shouldn't a basic backend support for YAML/JSON come out of the box with
perl blead?
I appreciate any help/guidance.
Thanks,
