Tim, Use the CPAN module to install the missing modules yourself: perl -MCPAN -e shell and follow the prompts to configure the CPAN module, and when configuration is complete, use this command at the prompt: install Params::Validate If you've used (and so configured) the CPAN module before you can just do this: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Params::Validate' and then rerun the 'rt-test-dependencies' program. Good luck, Troy >>> wilson at visi.com 11/14/03 08:57AM >>> Attention Perl Monks: I'm trying to install some Perl modules using CPAN. (I don't know much about Perl or CPAN unforutnately.) I'm getting the following error message when I try to use this program to install the dependencies necessary to run the RT issue tracking software that I asked the list about recently: [root at forums rt-3-0-6]# perl sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-postgres --with-modperl1 --install perl: 5.8.0...found MASON dependencies: Params::Validate 0.02...MISSING CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz gzip: /root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz: not in gzip format Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz gzip: /root/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz: not in gzip format Warning: Your /root/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz does not contain a Line-Count header.
