>Description:
The build phase of the PodParser module, fails due to the
presence of the older File::Spec module in the base Perl install. The
newer File::Spec, which is installed if needed earlier in the port
build, is not found.
# cd /usr/ports/textproc/p5-PodParser/
# make
===> Configuring for p5-PodParser-1.18
You need at least version 0.8 of the File::Spec module!
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./Makefile.PL line 14.
*** Error code 255
Stop in /export/freebsd/ports/textproc/p5-PodParser.
>How-To-Repeat:
See "Description."
>Fix:
There are patches in the port to allow the installed files to
find the newer File::Spec module rather than the old. For some reason,
the build process has not been patched in the same way. I merely
copied the same code added to these other files to Makefile.PL and the
build went smoothly,
