[Bug 5603] New: Argument isn't numeric in Makefile.PL
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5603
Summary: Argument isn't numeric in Makefile.PL
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.2.3
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: Building & Packaging
AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: jidanni@jidanni.org
It's one's first compile. And what does one see right off the bat?
$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME
Argument "6.30_01" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at Makefile.PL line 8.
Argument "6.30_01" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at Makefile.PL line 136.
(Though the rest proceeds OK.)

You need to emit
Ignore any error above that looks like ....
just after that point during the compilation, or else they will never see what
you want to tell them until years after, if ever.

I don't think we can do anything about this. I think that "6.30_01" is the
version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker installed by the CPAN module, which should not be
installing modules ending in "_01" anyway, since they're beta releases -- but
that's a bug in the CPAN.pm module. iirc...

Looks bad: user confidence shaken upon critical first impression.
Could emit an explanation at that point or perhaps make a workaround.
User feels "gosh, errors even at yard 1".

Agreed it looks bad, but there's still nothing we can actually do about it.
The failing code is a standard perl language feature (the version specifier of
the "use" directive).
Perhaps it could be documented somewhere, like the wiki..
