Running cpanm in Puppet #640

Closed Levelleor closed 2 years ago

Levelleor commented 2 years ago

I am unable to get cpanm working via Puppet. Manually everything's fine, when running via Puppet all sorts of issues come up. First one was solved defining PERL_CPANM_HOME as per https://github.com/miyagawa/cpanminus/issues/37.

Though now I face "Invalid metadata structure" issue on MacOS.

Here're the logs I get:

--> Working on HTML::Parser
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/O/OA/OALDERS/HTML-Parser-3.76.tar.gz ... OK
syntax error at /usr/local/bin/cpanm line 68, near ")m{die "Invalid metadata structure. Errors: " .join(", ",$cmv->errors)."\n"}"
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/cpanm line 68.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/bin/cpanm line 549.

Any suggestions on how to get further? Or maybe anyone has any suggestions of how to properly install cpan modules via Puppet?

"Invalid metadata structure" is not the actual error message. That is a quote from a compilation failure of /usr/local/bin/cpanm at line 68, which is bizarre, and doubly weird because cpanm itself seemed to have run correctly to a point where it fetched the tarball.

I'm not really sure what's happening, but given that you have no issues with running it outside Puppet, I'd bet it would be a different PATH, or some other environment variables that are in play.

Looks like it was using a different version of Perl that I've fixed by setting a strict PATH. Then defining both $HOME and $PERL_CPANM_HOME fixed the issue. Now just have to get rid of all the extra perl's.

It would be nice if it logged this issue correctly, though, I spent quite some time on finding the solution.
