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??

Shouldn't this be "INSTALLMAN1DIR"? I think your MakeMaker isn't
producing the Makefile correctly. What version of Perl and
ExtUtils::MakeMaker are you using?
Run these commands:
perl --version
perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e 'print "$ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSIONn";'
I don't think it's an issue of your tar file getting corrupted. If it
had, most likely you wouldn't be able to extract the files at all.
I'm using Perl 5.8.4, ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.17, gmake 3.80 on FreeBSD
4.9. I tried downloading and building Getopt::Long, using the cpan
shell, and it worked fine.

Bill K.

This is over two years old (6.05 was released 8/27/02).
It'd be worth updating it, but I'm not sure that'll resolve the error.
How are you downloading Getopt::Long? Do you use the CPAN shell?
For instance:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Getopt::Long'
That would probably rule out browser failures, because CPAN.pm uses
Perl's LWP module to do the download.

Bill K.

No, I originally tried an http download using the browsers, but once I
discovered that FTP-ing is an option too, I FTP'd through the firewall to
the CPAN and downloaded the zipped tar file directly to the Linux box.
Still, my results fail in the identical way. I'm certain now that the
cause of the problem is not my method of acquiring the file. File sizes
are the same locally and remotely. And also, I've been retrieving
numerous files in this way (the browser way) since 1999 and have only had
a problem with Getopt::Long... I'm not sure what this means...
