[I'm not quite sure whether this is a -current problem i.e. a problem
withthe perl5 build in -current. If not, just tell me where this
should be asked]
I'm running -current/ELF as of Sunday. I'm trying to install the
pilot-link port (and specifically one of the Perl modules that doesn't
get installed by default -- the PDA:Pilot module. It gets installed
fine in /usr/local/lib/perl/5.00502/i386-freebsd/{auto,PDA}
However, when I try to run the test program that comes along with the
application, it bombs on me with:
[vshah]/usr/ports/comms/pilot-link/work/pilot-link.0.8.13/Perl5# perl ./test.pl
Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl/5.00502/i386-freebsd/auto/PDA/Pilot/Pilot.so' for module PDA::Pilot: /usr/local/lib/perl/5.00502/i386-freebsd/auto/PDA/Pilot/Pilot.so: Undefined symbol "PL_sv_undef" at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00502/mach/DynaLoader.pm line 168.
at ./test.pl line 3
Not being a perl master, I grepped for the "PL_sv_undef" symbol
through the /usr/local/lib/perl/5.00502 hierarchy, and it turns up
several times. Anyone got any ideas?
The test.pl script is simply:
--------
sub FooBar { print "Foo: $_[0]\n"; $x = $_[0]; $x =~ s/[aeiou]/\U$&/g; return $x
};
use PDA::Pilot;
use Data::Dumper;
...
--------
I also get a core dump if I check for the existence of the
Data::Dumper module (which is installed by default in 5.00502).
[vshah@jabberwock] ~> perl -d -e "use Data::Dumper"
Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.0401
Emacs support available.
Enter h or `h h' for help.
