I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Installation problems
Hi, I'm having trouble installing via cpan install - on both a cygwined pc and a mac running panther: /usr/bin/perl.exe "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" Build.PL Build Too early to specify a build action 'Build'. Do 'Build Build' instead. make: *** [Build] Error 2 /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK I'm probably missing something ovbious here but any help would be appreciated Thanks Sean

Re: Installation problems
Hi Sean,

I do not know where does thisproblem come from, but I have found a work-arround:

1) start the installation of HTTP::Proxy via CPAN as usual
2) after the make fails, goto ~/.cpan/Build/HTTP-Proxy-0.15
3) edit the generated Makefile this way
replace line 471
$(PERLRUNINST) Build.PL Build
by
$(PERLRUNINST) Build.PL && Build
4) continue with "make all install" in directory ~/.cpan/Build/HTTP-Proxy-0.15

What is the correct solution for this problem anyway?

Martin

Re: Installation problems
There's a problem with the Makefile.PL file. Here's the patch :
