I'm having an error trying to install Parse::Pidl module with cpan. It seems that within the downloaded archive Parse-Pidl-0.02.tar.gz is missing the IDL.pm module (I think it should be within Parse-Pidl-0.02.tar.gz, but not sure)
This was with perl v5.26.1 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi on Linux 5.14.21 (opensuse)

Any ideas on how to complete the install ?
CodePudding user response：
The installation process is supposed to create lib/Parse/Pidl/IDL.pm, but it doesn't.[1]
But you can work around this.
cpan Parse::Yapp
wget https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/C/CT/CTRLSOFT/Parse-Pidl-0.02.tar.gz
tar xzf Parse-Pidl-0.02.tar.gz
cd Parse-Pidl-0.02
perl Makefile.PL
yapp -s -m 'Parse::Pidl::IDL' -o lib/Parse/Pidl/IDL.pm idl.yp
make test
make install
This is just what cpan does, with two additions: Installing Parse::Yapp to provide yapp, and running yapp manually.
- I don't have time to look into why.
