Description Dan Wallis 2011-03-11 03:30:08 UTC

When opening a perl file with app-vim/perl-support-4.9 installed, I receive the following error:

Can't locate Perl/Tags.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /home/dan/.gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3/i686-linux /home/dan/.gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3 /home/dan/.gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/i686-linux /home/dan/.gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3 /home/dan/.gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /home/da

Installing Perl::Tags with g-cpan resolves these problems.

This bug is still prevalent in 4.10, and that "Can't call method on an undefined value" thing is still a constant pain in the neck.

I've added Perl::Tags to the perl-experimental overlay ( http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/perl-overlay.git;a=commit;h=4e2a7bebfe44324fbb3d6c9057569e21441d03f2 
) and it solves my problems.

perl herd really should be added here and Perl::Tags ( and a dependency Module::Locate ) should probably be added to the main tree as a dependency.

Its not a Gentoo Prefix/Alt specific problem.

Perl-Tags and Module-Locate were added to ::gentoo.

Thanks

Fixed in 4.11 now in CVS.

Note that ~ppc and ~sparc keywords were dropped pending bug #364443.

Comment 4 Dan Wallis 2011-04-28 22:42:42 UTC

Thanks for fixing in v4.11. Still a problem in v4.9 & v4.10 though. Haven't tested v4.8 yet.

Note that keywords had to be dropped due to the new rdeps so I didn't want to drop keywords on old versions that were just going to be removed soon from the tree. Anyway, I just tossed both versions from the tree so you shouldn't have anything to complain about. :)

In terms of 4.8 not working, just use >=4.11 for now and it'll get stabilized once the dropped keywords are re-added.
