[Geoip-perl] Location Verification Service

[Pathik <pa...@ya...>]

I am installing the Location Verification Service API for perl using
the file below: ccfd_perl_1.42.tar.gz 

I am having some difficulty installing this API. After untarring it, I
exec the following command, as per the README:

perl Makefile.PL

Following is the error I got: 

[root ccfd_perl_1.42]# perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Warning: the following files are missing in your kit:
        META.yml
Please inform the author.
WARNING: Setting ABSTRACT via file
'lib/Business/MaxMind/CreditCardFraudDetection.pm' failed
 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 552
Writing Makefile for Business::MaxMind::HTTPBase

I then copied the META.yml file from Geo-IP-1.27 API, is this okay?

I removed the Makefile and re-exec the command, below is what I got:

[root ccfd_perl_1.42]# perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Is this warning okay? Is there a way I can correct the warning?

I then executed -> 'make' and got the following:

[root ccfd_perl_1.42]# make

I got quite a few errors about the files not being in the correct
format for the man pages. There are missing sections in the files.

I still went ahead and tried 'make test' and got the following:

[root ccfd_perl_1.42]# make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
"test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

Undefined subroutine &Test::Harness::WCOREDUMP called at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/Test/Harness.pm line 288.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 9

There still are some other errors in the file itself.

Please assist me with this API.

Thank you,
Pathik
