I've successfully installed numerous Perl modules from CPAN. (I almost
get the feeling that I know what I am doing.) But I downloaded the
latest release of Getopt::Long and ran 'perl Makefile.PL' which created
the Makefile, but complained that pod2man was not in the PATH (but, "Oh,
yes it is!"). Nonetheless, I ran 'make' and it gave me this message:
make:87: *** missing separator. Stop.
So I checked out line 87 and found this line:
installman1
which I appended ='' so it looked like this:
installman1=''
This satisfied that error and then made the same complaint about line
97. Fixed that the same way and several new errors came up complaining
about unexpected EOF while looking for matching quote... I noticed that
there were numberous unclosed or unopened single quotes througout the
Makefile. Obviously, something got way out of whack and I never could
fix the Makefile to the point where it ran. What did I do wrong, or
what is wrong with Getopt::Long? Does the fact that the supposedly
zipped tar file ends in a tar.tar extention instead of a tar.gz
extention have anything to do with my problem? Or is this just sloppy
work on the part of the maintainer? Anybody able to help me??
