Installation on Perl Naive systems

[dhard]

FASTers, it would be great to please test installation on naive systems of different kinds and report back. Try to break the installer or the code! Find bugs please!

It seems that FAST will not work on any perl version above 5.18.*, because the packages below currently don’t work with perl 5.19.0 and above.

Devel::Size List::Gen

It seems I have fixed the List::Gen install. It failed a test because it was expecting a weird result that happened in previous versions of PERL. Here is the link I found the information on: https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=121784

Travis, I encountered similar problems with Perl 5.20.1 on both Windows and Mac. Originally thought CPAN just couldn't get through my firewall, because many Stack Overflow answers on the topic point to firewalls.

It seems that Devel::Size is broken and will remain broken until Perl 5.22.0 link. There is a conflict between Devel::Size and some of the core guts of the newer Perl versions (link)

Thanks for the links.

Perhaps we could make a Wiki page with a matrix of test cases. Perl versions on one axis and Mac/Windows/Linux on the other. I could do this.

All is good on Ubuntu with Perl 5.18.2.

FAST is now posted to CPAN. Users can install by saying sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install FAST'
