-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Today we upgraded some software on the Solaris login servers (willow and wolfsbane). Notable upgrades include Perl 5.10.1, Python 2.6.5, git 1.7.0.3, GNU bash 4.1 and Mercurial 1.5. A full list of upgrades is available at <https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/MNT-409> - river.

This upgrade has caused all of my tools using the Perl MediaWiki::API module to break. Specifically API.php returns its response in gzip format. MediaWiki::API uses the standard perl LWP module which uses the Compress::Zlib module to decode web responses in gzip format. Compress::Zlib is not an installed module on wolfsbane What I don't understand is how the upgrade has caused this. Could the upgrade have uninstalled a previously present Compress::Zlib or could MediaWiki::API work without Compress::Zlib before the upgrade? Andrew Dunbar (hippietrail)

Actually, it looks like the new Perl package was slightly broken, and didn't ship Compress::Zlib when it should have. This is fixed now. - river

It seems there are some very stale old modules still installed which seem to now be considered defacto standard by the Perl community. POE and its child classes such as POE::Component::IRC for example. I couldn't even find what was the right path for these modules for a script running on nightshade or wolfsbane and ended up installing local copies of the current versions.

$ perl -V will tell you where perl looks for libraries, and $ perl -MModule -e 'print "$Module::VERSION\n"' will generally give you the version.

$ perl -V will tell you where perl looks for libraries, and

Aha thanks!

$ perl -MModule -e 'print "$Module::VERSION\n"'

Yes I was printing these from my bot so I new it was using ancient versions of some modules but wanted to know where they were coming from. I wonder if there is a programmatic equivalent for -V Andrew Dunbar (hippietrail)

$ perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC' /home/overlordq/lib/i86pc-solaris-thread-multi-64int-ld /home/overlordq/lib /opt/ts/perl/5.10/lib/5.10 /opt/ts/perl/5.10/lib/site_perl/5.10 /opt/ts/perl/5.10/lib/vendor_perl/5.10 /opt/ts/perl/5.10/lib/vendor_perl/5.10 or if you only want a single module: $ perl -MArchive::Tar -le 'print $INC{"Archive/Tar.pm"}' /opt/ts/perl/5.10/lib/5.10/Archive/Tar.pm if that's what you meant by programmatic equivalent.

I'm afraid I don't really understand what you mean here. What do you need the path for? System modules are installed in the default Perl search path, and you shouldn't need to know (or care) what that is, since Perl will search it by default. - river.

It's probably a good idea. Our version of POE.pm is 1.0003 from June 2008, current version is 1.287 Our version of POE::Component::IRC.pm is 5.84 current version is 6.28

I was trying to track down why my code wasn't working. I thought I had the include paths right for my local modules but still a documented function was missing. I was trying to find out if there was another, out of date, version of the module the sytem was pulling in or whether there was some other problem with my code that I wasn't seeing. It turned out there were stale modules in /usr/share/perl5/ but it took me a while. Once I knew that I could be sure that there really was something wrong with how I was specifying the paths to my local modules and could focus on fixing that. Andrew Dunbar (hippietrail)

Okay, I assumed you were talking about willow (since the thread was about software upgrades on Solaris), but /usr/share/perl5 only exists on Linux. I suggest filing a TS issue and assigning it to DaB to upgrade these modules on nightshade. - river.
