installing HTML::Mason

[Jens Porup]

Thanks very much for that Andrew.

I'm guessing you meant to reply to the list
so I'm forwarding it there in case anyone else
might have been interested.

And yes, a PM talk on HTML::Mason would be of
much interest, at least to myself...

Jens

Hi Jens

HTML::Mason tries to find an httpd.conf and then tries to
build a cutdown httpd then tries to run it with modified
for HTML::Mason version of the httpd.conf it found, etc, etc
etc.  Personally i think the testing tries to do too much,
but thats just me.  

if you do the install manually 
(am i telling you things you already know is i say that using cpan does
 * download the right version
 * unzip and untar into /root/.cpan/build/HTML-Mason/ (in
 your case)
 * cd /root/.cpan/build/HTML-Mason/
 * perl Makefile.PL
 * make test
 * make install
)
then there are options to the perl Makefile.PL line that
will skip the test that tries to do the httpd stuff.

BUT then you have to read more of the HTML::Mason docs, and
look at the mailing list archive at www.masonhq.com, and
know about mod_perl and what it does and then work out how
to put all the pieces of the jigsaw together.

It is worth it in the end though.  Mason is very nice, (but i
don't use it at its full potential, so i would not like to
do a talk about it at melb.pm.... if anyone was thinking
about that...)

see ya

Thats just what perl does if you try and use a module that
is not installed.
