Hi all

I tried to upgrade DateTime from v0.50 to V.75

DateTime installs here:
:
Prepending /root/.cpan/build/DateTime-0.75-SOd13E/blib/arch /root/.cpan/build/DateTime-0.75-SOd13E/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'install'
Building DateTime
Installing /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/DateTime.pm
Installing /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/DateTimePP.pm
Installing /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/DateTimePPExtra.pm
Installing /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/DateTime/Duration.pm
Installing /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/DateTime/Helpers.pm
Installing /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/DateTime/Infinite.pm
Installing /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/DateTime/LeapSecond.pm
Installing /opt/perl/man/man3/DateTime::Infinite.3
Installing /opt/perl/man/man3/DateTime.3
Installing /opt/perl/man/man3/DateTime::Duration.3
Installing /opt/perl/man/man3/DateTime::LeapSecond.3
DROLSKY/DateTime-0.75.tar.gz
./Build install -- OK

But when I run:
/opt/perl/bin/perl -e 'use DateTime; print "$DateTime::VERSION\n";'
0.50

cat /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/DateTime.pm | grep DateTime::VERSION
$DateTime::VERSION = '0.75';
$serialized .= "version:$DateTime::VERSION";

find /opt/perl/ -name 'DateTime.pm'
/opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/x86_64-linux/DateTime.pm
/opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/DateTime.pm

cat /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/x86_64-linux/DateTime.pm | grep VERSION
our $VERSION;
$VERSION = '0.50';
XSLoader::load( 'DateTime', $DateTime::VERSION );
$serialized .= "version:$VERSION";

So it seems to me it is forgetting to install under /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/x86_64-linux/

Doing this as root seem to fix it:
cp -rv /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/DateTime* /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/x86_64-linux/

Then most of our code seem to work fine.

A bit ugly?
Is it my custom build perl 5.8.9 under /opt/perl that confuses it?
I'm building on an opensuse 11.4 X86_64 with system perl 5.12.3

Thanks

My guess is that for some reason DateTime thought it couldn't compile XS
on your system (see the actual shipped Build.PL for how it determines
this).

Why it thought this, I couldn't tell you, but I'd suggest starting by
installing Module::Build from CPAN, which will pull in all the required
C-building deps.
