XML::SAX issue (Question about Carmel and "make install")

[doojonio]

Hi! Carmel is really nice to use package manager and we're moving from Carton to Carmel, but we have experienced some problems with one of our dependency.

XML::SAX module use kinda buggy registration system for it's drivers. Every driver has to register itself in file called ParserDetails.ini which is placed in $PERL_LIB/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini along with .pm files. They're running registration script during make install job and it looks like Carmel doesn't run make install during dependency installation so XML::SAX drivers don't register themselves in ParserDetails.ini. Is it true? Is there any solutions for this problem on Carmel side? I think XML::SAX maintenance community won't agree to change this driver registration system... ☹️

If you're curious about this buggy registration system in single file during make install job you can check their MakeFile.PL source code:

• XML::SAX make install code
• XML::LibXML make install code
• XML::SAX->save_parsers function source code

This is a known problem and there's a workaround in #22

See #74 for other modules that could cause problems with Carmel.
