Kwiki update problems with Spoon

water has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am helping a friend update a running vanilla kwiki using the instructions here: http://kwiki.org/?InstallingTypicalWikiFeatures We're getting the following error from Spoon on the update:

$kwiki -update
Can't locate object method "init" via package "CGI::Kwiki::Config" at 
+/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/Spoon/Config.pm line 22.
[download]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to continue?

Thanks!

water

You want just Kwiki now. CGI::Kwiki got a Six Million Dollar Man rebuild, and became Kwiki. You'll find it much nicer. Actually, use Bundle::Kwiki to get all the basics, including what is listed in the InstallingTypicalWikiFeatures page above. `mhoward - at - hattmoward.org`	[reply]

Unable to install Bundle::Kwiki as Kwiki::Email requires 5.8.3 and they're still at 5.8.2. So we cpan, and "force install Kwiki", which is successful, and still the same error: `[543 root@xxx:/var/www/kwiki]$ kwiki -update Can't locate object method "init" via package "CGI::Kwiki::Config" at +/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/Spoon/Config.pm line 22. [544 root@xxx:/var/www/kwiki]$` [download] Harumpth. Still stuck. :(	[reply] [d/l]

The CLI tool is `kwiki-install` now. `mhoward - at - hattmoward.org`	[reply]

via package "CGI::Kwiki::Config" That's because in CGI::Kwiki, There's no Spoon. There really isn't. Spoon came to Kwiki after it moved namespace from "CGI::Kwiki" to simply "Kwiki". So your error shouldn't be there, or at least it should say `via package "Kwiki::.."` instead of `via package "CGI::Kwiki..."` Best you grep for the string "`CGI::Kwiki`" in your installation. There's something definitely wrong where you find it. Maybe some module author mislabeled a package in a `use` or `package` statement somewhere there. Cheers, Sören	[reply]

Kwiki and CGI::Kwiki are not compatible.	[reply]

Debug it! Sounds like you either don't have a module containing CGI::Kwiki::Config in our library-path or the CGI::Kwiki::Config you have doesn't contain an 'init' function. put a debug statement like `join("\n", map {" $_ => $::{$_} "} %::)';` in the `kwiki` just after the 'use'/'requires' and see if there is anything inthere looking like CGI::Kwiki::Config . AFAIK The %:: hash contains a namespace mapping of some kind, so if the namespace CGI::Kwiki::Config is known to the application at the time you read out %:: it must be in there somewhere. Unfortunately I couldn't find a lot of documentation on %:: so I don't know what the mapping in there exactly is. You could also check your local filesystem for a file called CGI/Kwiki.pm or CGI/Kwiki/Config.pm but the 'package' CGI::Kwiki::Config could be hidden in any file. If you've found a file containing the line `package CGI::Kwiki::Config;` make sure it is loaded somehow.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
