cygwin: Can't call method

Posted on 2009-06-04 17:11:34-07 by perlsmith

Hi, Hope I find a guru who can throw some light on this one. I don't know what to try. I'm good at using perl, but I haven't a clue about installing modules that don't come with the distribution:

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7602) ReadLine support enabled cpan> install XML::XPath CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /home/perl/Metadata Database was generated on Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:26:55 GMT CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok Fetching with LWP: ftp://ftp.rub.de/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Going to read /home/perl/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8/IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm line 64. cpan> $ perl -v This is perl, v5.8.8 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int

Running on a cygwin on Win XP on AMD Athlon 1500+
