Problem w/ Perl Package Manager (ppm) 1.8.0 [Answered]

[georgefk]

Greetings once more. I am using Windows 7 Pro and xampp 1.8.0
When I try to run ppm.bat from xampp\perl\bin I got a pop-up window with "perl.exe has stopped working".
Now I have a Hello World script working in the document root so Perl works correctly.

I did not have this issue with Vista and xampp 1.7.7
What I am trying to do is to add Perl database modules DBI and DBD::mysql

Can someone please try to see if ppm.bat is ok with their installation?
As always I would be very grateful for any help in resolving this issue.

[JonB]

did you run it from the xampp shell?

[georgefk]

yes this problem shows itself from the xampp shell
also Command Prompt

[JonB]

OK - remember JonB did not build this stuff...

I think you are right ppm and cpan are toast in XAMPP 1.8.0 <=> I got boo-boos on both and neither appears to be able to compile.

My advice is this (I know a 'fair' amount about Perl):

DL the same version of Strawberry Perl from the origin -

http://strawberryperl.com/

Install away - LOL (it will want to put itself in c:\strawberry likely)

To compile/install - USE CPAN - ppm is deprecated for non-ActivePerl installs.

You can then do one of two things - I am 99.995 sure on this -

A. Compile new Perl modules with that install and transplant them. That leaves everything in XAMPP.
I just (on another machine) installed/compiled DBI with CPAN using the Strawberry standalone.

Code: Select all

...
Installing C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dbilogstrip
Installing C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dbilogstrip.bat
Installing C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dbiprof
Installing C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dbiprof.bat
Installing C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dbiproxy
Installing C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dbiproxy.bat
Appending installation info to C:\strawberry\perl\lib/perllocal.pod
  TIMB/DBI-1.622.tar.gz
  C:\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.EXE install UNINST=1 -- OK

C:\strawberry\perl\bin>

I checked the folders, its there now. DBI is now in perl\site - (meaning local) both \bin and \lib. Ditto the DBD::mysql (that will need a lot of patience and error-fixing).

B. Create an Alias for the Strawberry install you just made, make needed handler changes, and change your shebang and have it do the heavy lifting.

Note: If you transplant things, you may need complete paths for includes and uses or you can dis around and fix that possibly. If you use 'Plan B' you may need to add the path to c:\xampp\myql\bin to the Environment permanently. (System Properties)

Appending installation info to C:\strawberry\perl\lib/perllocal.pod
CAPTTOFU/DBD-mysql-4.022.tar.gz
C:\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.EXE install UNINST=1 -- OK

NONE OF THIS IS GUARANTEED!!! I had to live with a compile that fails a test (maybe you can clear it...). This is Perl Monk territory, and I don't wear a habit... Make all the fixes first, and you may get a clean compile!

The Icelandic Sagas start here:

My first fix -

mysql_config.pl, and an associated bat file, has been
successfully created under
   C:\xampp\mysql\bin


Cannot find the file 'mysql_config'! Your execution PATH doesn't seem
not contain the path to mysql_config. Resorting to guessed values!


PLEASE NOTE:

For 'make test' to run properly, you must ensure that the
database user '' can connect to your MySQL server
and has the proper privileges that these tests require such
as 'drop table', 'create table', 'drop procedure', 'create procedure'
as well as others.

mysql> grant all privileges on test.* to ''@'localhost' identified by 's3kr1t';

You can also optionally set the user to run 'make test' with:

perl Makefile.PL --testuser=username

I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

  cflags        (mysql_config) = -IC:\strawberry\c\bin\..\include\mysql_5
  embedded      (guessed     ) =
  ldflags       (mysql_config) =
  libs          (mysql_config) = -LC:\strawberry\c\bin\..\lib -lmysql
  mysql_config  (guessed     ) = mysql_config
  nocatchstderr (default     ) = 0
  nofoundrows   (default     ) = 0
  ssl           (guessed     ) = 0
  testdb        (default     ) = test
  testhost      (default     ) =
  testpassword  (default     ) =
  testsocket    (default     ) =
  testuser      (guessed     ) =

To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc INSTALL'.

Beer please!

Thank you JonB for that epic reply.
It has been suggested that it was not a good idea to install 1.8.0 on top of 1.7.7 so I reinstalled.
Trying ppm from the xampp-shell it complained that
libexpat-1_.dll
was not found. This is nowhere in my system and not in 1.7.7 in particular.
I will try out strawberry perl. Failing that I will use the 1.7.7 installation on my old PC.
Many thanks
georgefk

Hi,

i am encountering the same problem. Trying to install any module in XAMPP with ppm does not work as ppm like mentioned aboved will not start.
Will be this solved or is this a feature?

Greetings
