In the below, teh sequence of characters "^@" represent a true NULL character, which won't paste into the email. So it seems like the old ptar isn't particularly compatible with something or another. It sounded like it might have a nice feature of reading the compressed version of the archive directly, but I guess that doesn't work either.

So that is good, I guess, even if it means that all the tar programs in the world are broken except GNU tar 1.13, and A::T. (One cannot help but wonder instead if GNU tar 1.13 and A::T are the ones that are broken.) And the patch you submitted looks good on the surface, it sounds like improvements to several rough edges I've reported in M::B. I look forward to see a snapshot version I can install containing those fixes, so I can try again. Unfortunately, there still seems to be one major outstanding problem: installing my module using PPD does not cause my files to be copied into the c:\perl directory tree. D:\>ppm install d:\GFfP\GFfP.ppd ppm install d:\GFfP\GFfP.ppd ==================== Install 'GFfP' version 0.1 in ActivePerl 5.8.0.805. ==================== Successfully installed GFfP version 0.1 in ActivePerl 5.8.0.805. D:\>c: c: C:\Perl>dir GFfP* /s dir GFfP* /s Volume in drive C has no label.

But somehow, "perl build install" figured out how to install the module successfully (albeit, it doesn't create the two files above, which seems to be a PPM record of configuration, so that is probably correct). However, using the same environment, and creating the "perl build dist" and "perl build ppd" (with a hand edit to the PPD for version-checking... oh, should that have been in the patch? That's another unresolved issue, I think), followed by "PPM install", does not place the files where they belong. So if there is something missing, I guess that Cookbook needs some more help. Or if it is some other reason, perhaps M::B should be improved to deal with it? > Thanks, > Randy. > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials. > Become an expert in LINUX or just sharpen your skills.

It's ridiculous. -- Bill Gates And here is why it is ridiculous: The division that includes Windows posted an operating profit of $2.26 billion on revenue of $2.81 billion. --from Reuters via http://biz.yahoo.com/rc/031113/tech_microsoft_msn_1.html So that's profit of over 400% of investment... with a bit more investment in Windows technology, particularly in the area of reliability, the profit percentage might go down, but so might the bugs and security problems? Seems like it would be a reasonable tradeoff. WalMart earnings are 3.4% of investment. |
