  • 1.  Perl/CPAN installation directory incorrect

    Modules installed with CPAN cannot not be found by Perl.

    The Perl 5.28 package appears to have an incorrect installation directory prefix configured in the CPAN build process.  

    Modules are being stored in: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/perl-root/opt/freeware/.....

    Perl  INC is: /opt/freeware/......

    Every perl rpm from IBM has this issue since 5.22, 5.8.2 is ok. You can work around it by doing this

     

    # mkdir -p /var/opt/freeware/tmp/perl-root
    # ln -sf /opt /var/opt/freeware/tmp/perl-root/opt

    Also, with the xlc build please don't hard code the xlc path, the latest xlc compiler is in /opt/IBM/xlC/13.1.3/bin/

    -Dcc=/usr/vac/bin/xlc_r

    -A define:ld=/usr/vac/bin/xlc_r

      Compiler:
        cc='/usr/vac/bin/xlc_r -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -q32'

     Linker and Libraries:
        ld='/usr/vac/bin/xlc_r -q32'

     

     -Dinstallprefix=/var/opt/freeware/tmp/perl-root/opt/freeware

     

     

    Dynamic Linking:
        dlsrc=dl_aix.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags='-brtl -bdynamic -bE:/var/opt/freeware/tmp/perl-root/opt/freeware/lib/perl5/5.22.0/ppc-aix-thread-multi/CORE/perl.exp'

    Hi,

    This issue has been fixed from perl 5.28.1-2 onwards. You can try the latest perl 5.30.2 which is built using gcc.
