I'm trying to run a perl script in a new install of -current and getting the following error :

My searching seems to indicate when a perl library is installed with a different version than what's installed such as installing via cpan or a package manager. But I've only installed Slackware-current and haven't installed any other perl packages.

I noticed this post https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...8/#post6275376 which seems to have a similar issue.

maybe this answer (the first)?

if it's not that could it be also that the perl stuff you are trying to run has to be rebuild too against the newer perl in current (maybe because it contains additional perl modules itself).

So that's one of the places where I saw the notes about having modules installed separately, but I didn't install any, its a clean -current install.
so their suggestions such as checking returns nothing, nothing in ~/.bashrc etc

I think a little more informations on the script you are trying to run could help.

Its Slic3r. I was using it for the last few months on a raspberry pi 400 running Slackware-arm-current. If you download and extract you can then just run . So I bought a small x86 desktop to upgrade from the Pi400 and installed -current and trying the same gives the error. I hadn't updated the pi in a month or two is really the only difference i can find.

if you mean this

I followed the instructions on how to build it (because you have to build it, you cannot simply execute it as is moving the directory from one version to another of perl)

I installed perl-local-lib as requested and I issued these two commands
and here it asked me to install also cpanminus: I installed it too and then it started building a ton of other perl modules (they are still building)...

I have run those command as user to avoid an installation via cpanminus system-wide (I don't know where cpanminus install stuff).

EDIT: in the end the main slice3r.pl built fine (and run fine after), while the gui won't (with an error building Wx::build::MakeMaker) and, good news, cpanminus installed the stuff locally in a "local-lib" directory.

I was just downloading https://dl.slic3r.org/linux/slic3r-1...ux-x64.tar.bz2 and extracting and running it. I'll try the build and see what happens.

Reason I posted was because I found that other thread with a similar issue and wondered if something odd got into -current.

I went ahead and installed cpanminus via the Slackbuild and the Slic3r build as non-root and the Slic3r-build.pl still tells cpanminus to put stuff in a local-lib

My GUI works FWIW.
