• tinita commented on CPAN Testers - "Can't locate FindBin/libs.pm in @INC"

  The FindBin::libs package on CPAN seems to be broken at the moment and therefore not indexed. It seems to be a problem with the $VERSION number. Maybe that's the reason for the fails.

• Chisel commented on CPAN Testers - "Can't locate FindBin/libs.pm in @INC"

  Odd - just found this RT ticket: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72251

  ... I'm not sure why it's not being indexed and not sure how to investigate why it's failing.

  Is there a METACPAN module to test indexing against?

• Toby Inkster commented on CPAN Testers - "Can't locate FindBin/libs.pm in @INC"

  Yes, I've had problems installing one or two modules from CPAN because of FindBin::libs errors. (It may have even been for C:P:ErrorCatcher.)

  I think in some cases, CPAN.pm has suggested downloading perl-5.14.1 to satisfy the dependency on FindBin::libs. (And I so have Perl 5.14 installed via perlbrew, but don't want to upgrade my system Perl thank you very much!)

• Chisel commented on CPAN Testers - "Can't locate FindBin/libs.pm in @INC"

  Very helpful (and probably fewer questions coming your way).

  Thanks for this!

• Peter Rabbitson commented on How (not) To Load a Module or Bad Interfaces Make Good People Do Bad Things

  Hi, and sorry for resurrecting this old thread.

  This blogpost seems to be bookmarked among many fellow programmers, but it fails to even mention Module::Runtime, which (at the time of this writing) already was implementing everything you describe, except for the unicode stuff (which it considers invalid, see RT#74804).

  Would you mind updating this post for the sake of fellow googlers?

  Cheers!
