Hi,

I am trying to install GD in CPAN and it fails:

Code: 
Manifying blib/man3/GD::Simple.3
  LDS/GD-2.50.tar.gz
  /usr/bin/make -- OK
Running make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/GD.t ........ 1/12 Testing using png support.
t/GD.t ........ Failed 7/12 subtests
        (less 2 skipped subtests: 3 okay)
t/Polyline.t .. ok

Then I tried to upgrade in CPAN, it failed again.

Code: 
Could not read metadata file. Falling back to other methods to determine prerequisites

cpan[2]>

I used the port to install Perl and did not get any error messages. I cannot find any problem for Perl.

Code: 
root@brampton:/usr/local/www/9.pccom.ca/sites/default/modules/first # perl -v

This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 1 (v5.18.1) built for amd64-freebsd

Copyright 1987-2013, Larry Wall

Code: 
root@brampton:/usr/local/www/9.pccom.ca/sites/default/modules/first # perl -e 'print "hello\n";'
hello
root@brampton:/usr/local/www/9.pccom.ca/sites/default/modules/first #

I did not find any error when I make graphics/ImageMagick. Besides, I did a portmaster -r perl, it did not show errors. I just did a portsnap fetch && portsnap extract a moment ago.

Please help!
 
Concerning
Code: 
GBARR/IO-Tty-0.04.tar.gz                     : writemakefile NO '/usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL' returned status 65280

For this CPAN module, the problem is the *third* line of the Makefile.PL:

Code: 
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

use Config qw(%Config &config_sh);

Nothing else is referenced from the %Config, however, so I changed this as follows:

Code: 
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

use Config;

I then manually built, tested, and installed to module to get past this error:

Code: 
$ /apps/perl5.20.0/bin/perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ make install

The problem is a demand for config_sh which does not exist in more recent CPAN config files... once this is installed, running upgrade then allows the next version of this module to be installed...

Code: 
Package namespace         installed    latest  in CPAN file
IO::Tty                        0.04      1.11  TODDR/IO-Tty-1.11.tar.gz

Hope this helps!
