Trouble with Redhat 9

[Andy Wright]

I had the same problems, and I think I solved it by changing the lang
setting. (It seems Redhat 9 has problems with UTF-8).

Try....

LANG=en_US
export $LANG

Subject: Trouble with Redhat 9


Hello all,

Has anyone run into trouble installing Perl Modules on Redhat 9?

I have a freshly installed machine with Redhat 9. I am not able to install
any
modules from CPAN using:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
o conf prerequisites_policy ask
install module::name

The common error is this:

Warning: I could not locate your pod2man program. Please make sure,
         your pod2man program is in your PATH before you execute 'make'

I checked and pod2man is in the PATH. Is this an issue with Redhat 9?

Thank you for any hints
Marco

This is an example when I tried to install Net::SSLeay:

Checking for OpenSSL-0.9.6g or newer...
You have OpenSSL-0.9.7a installed in /usr
That's is newer than what this module was tested with (0.9.6g). You should
consider checking if there is a newer release of this module
available. Everything will probably work OK, though.
*** Could not figure out which C compiler was used to compile
/usr/bin/openssl.
It is essentiall that OpenSSL, perl, and Net::SSLeay are compiled with the
same
compiler and flags. Mixing and matching compilers is not supported. at
Makefile.PL line 132.
