CPAN Catch-22by snax (Hermit) |
on Sep 25, 2017 at 20:37 UTC ( [id://1200071]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
snax has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: So I've managed to shoot myself in the foot. Earlier today I did an update of my CPAN module, via a perl -MCPAN -e shell session. This was kind of a reflex because I hadn't used CPAN for a while. That turned out OK (upgraded to v2.14 of CPAN), but ever since, any time I use perl -MCPAN -e shell and try to install or update anything, I get an annoying error: Will not use CPAN::Meta::Requirements, need version 2.120920 Naturally that requirement is a literal specification in the v2.14 CPAN.pm module code. It's not "need >=". I have v2.125 of CPAN::Meta::Requirements. Any clues on how best to sort this out? I grabbed source for CPAN v 2.16 but building that shows I need to upgrade other things, and I want to be able to rely on the CPAN module for managing packages. It's great when it works right :)
