83 | FEEDBACK |
84 | -------- |
85 | |
86 | How to report a problem with IO::Compress::Base. |
87 | |
88 | To help me help you, I need all of the following information: |
89 | |
90 | 1. The Versions of everything relevant. |
91 | This includes: |
92 | |
93 | a. The *complete* output from running this |
94 | |
95 | perl -V |
96 | |
97 | Do not edit the output in any way. |
98 | Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v". |
99 | |
100 | If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too |
101 | old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better. |
102 | |
103 | b. The version of IO::Compress::Base you have. |
104 | If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Base, this one-liner |
105 | will tell you: |
106 | |
107 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]' |
108 | |
109 | If you areplete* output from running this |
110 | |
111 | perl -V |
112 | |
113 | Do not edit the output in any way. |
114 | Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v". |
115 | |
116 | If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too |
117 | old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better. |
118 | |
119 | b. The version of IO::Compress::Base you have. |
120 | If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Base, this one-liner |
121 | will tell you: |
122 | |
123 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]' |
124 | |
125 | If you are running windows use this |
126 | |
127 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]" |
128 | |
129 | If you haven't installed IO::Compress::Base then search IO::Compress::Base.pm |
130 | for a line like this: |
131 | |
132 | $VERSION = "1.05" ; |
133 | |
134 | |
135 | |
136 | 2. If you are having problems building IO::Compress::Base, send me a |
137 | complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the IO::Compress::Base |
138 | module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps |
139 | |
140 | [edit config.in, if necessary] |
141 | perl Makefile.PL |
142 | make |
143 | make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 |
