Hi!

I haven't been able to install 5.28 or newer because of a failure in
write_buildcustomize.pl

The following output is from blead @​
39ce401 (the latest at this time). I gave
the same problem with 5.28.0.

My (limited) understanding of "shared hosts" suggests that one (other than someone with root privileges) would not be able to install applications *at all* in such an environment.

But your first paragraph above suggests that you *have* been able to install versions of perl earlier than 5.28.0 in this environment. Can you clarify what your past experiences in this environment have been?

Also, do you have recommendations for patches?

Thank you very much.

I installed them into my home directory, primarily using perlbrew. The lack
of permissions consistently lead to a single failure in the tests of the
pure-Perl implementation of Cwd (see ticket #109760) which I simply ignored.

But I'm guessing that the pure-Perl version of Cwd is now being used during
the installation process, leading to an inability to install 5.28+

No. _perl_getcwd is fundamentally flawed (and so is _perl_abs_path). It's
not possible to reliably obtain the cwd in Pure Perl without executing an
external program. Cwd​::getcwd should be builtin.

Yeah, I agree. BTW, it's already the case on win32. Win32​::GetCwd() is a
built-in in miniperl.

I'm looking at this.

write_buildcustomize.pl is problem here too - it shouldn't succeed if it's going to write out garbage.

Maybe the attached.

Right now the built-in getcwd() is Internals​::getcwd(), which isn't the best namespace to put it in, but I'm not sure where else it should go.

Subject: (perl #133951) don't write an invalid lib/buildcustomize.pl

Cwd under miniperl (at this point) can't determine the current
directory if some ancestor directory isn't readable.

So Cwd::getcwd() would return undef, and write_buildcustomize.pl
would write out a list of paths relative to / rather than to the cwd.

Confirmed that the call to Cwd​::getcwd() in write_buildcustomize.pl
returns undef, causing the subsequent calls to miniperl to fail.

Same problem in
https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=133787.
Sticking plaster fix to write_buildcustomize.pl seems to be​:

-my $cwd = Cwd​::getcwd();
+my $cwd = Cwd​::getcwd() || Cwd​::cwd();

But (1) a bodge fix is all that is (2) the same issue might be
involved in the as-yet unresolved remaining problems in RT133787 -
and
so later on in your build process too (3) likely other problems
downstream when not running as root.

Maybe the attached.

Oops, forgot to commit the version bumps.

Thank you. This patch does resolve the problem; I can successfully build
and test 5.28 when the patch is applied.

Note that while the patch fixes getcwd, but abs_path is still broken. I
shall address this by making _perl_abs_path a direct port of the C
implementation (falling back to the existing version when Internals​::getcwd
isn't available).

Hi Tony,

This is very useful for #133787 as well. Will it make it into 5.30?

Thanks,
Rich
