cpan2tgz error on installing module: Failed to find module: build_requires
 
I'm trying to install a module called HTML::Entities using cpan2tgz on a fresh install of Slackware 12.2. I've built cpan2tgz from the SlackBuild on SlackBuilds.org and completed the configuration when first running cpan2tgz (the only odd thing there was that I didn't have a program called applypatch anywhere on my install to input when asked for it...).

When trying to install the HTML::Entities module using cpan2tgz HTML::Entities, I get the following:
Code:
root@slack:~# cpan2tgz HTML::Entities

Looks good

Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue

handling 2 dependencies for HTML::Entities: build_requires, requires

Strange distribution name [build_requires]
root@slack:~#
If I try to build any other module, I end up with the same error. I had no problems installing any modules on 12.1, but haven't succeeded in getting any built using cpan2tgz on 12.2 (I've tried two machines with clean installs).

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Please send the full output of "/path_to/cpan2tgz.Slackbuild" command

I've since discovered that SlackBuilds.org have build scripts for all the modules I required (HTML::Entities and HTML::Cookies, as well as their dependencies), so I don't need cpan2tgz at the moment as the script I wanted to work is now satisfied!

For future information, I needed to build the following from SlackBuilds.org:

Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.011
Compress-Zlib-2.011
IO-Compress-Base-2.011
IO-Compress-Zlib-2.011
libwww-perl-5.819
perl-extutils-cbuilder-0.24
perl-extutils-parsexs-2.19
perl-html-parser-3.56
perl-html-tagset-3.20
perl-module-build-0.30
yaml-0.66 (not strictly necessary)

Sorry, I meant the output of command you issue to build the cpan2tgz package using the SlackBuild.

Someday I will try to learn English :o

Happy you got all you needed anyway.

No, it's my fault, I misread your post. Still, it's all sorted now, so it doesn't matter! :)

Because there are some changes in CPAN API in the new Perl 5.10.0 that comes with Slackware 12.2, you have to use updated version of cpan2tgz also.
The latest cpan2tgz version is 0.6.5 .

That makes sense, I suppose. I was just using SlackBuilds.org for all my needs, but I'll email the SlackBuilds.org cpan2tgz SlackBuild maintainer to see if the version can be upgraded so it works with 12.2.

Thanks.
