First, I'm not sure if this is the best list but it's probably the best start.
The problem I am having is part debian, part dh-make-perl and probably perl. But I'm not sure where one ends and the other begins. So I thought I would begin here and see where it takes me. I am having trouble installing Devel::Cover via dh-make-perl with the following: dh-make-perl --build --cpan Devel::Cover Devel-Cover-0.53/session.vim Devel-Cover-0.53/all_versions Removing previously used /home/tom/.cpan/build/Devel-Cover-0.53 Found: Devel-Cover 0.53 (libdevel-cover-perl arch=any) Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/bin/dh-make-perl line 442. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/bin/dh-make-perl line 443. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/bin/dh-make-perl line 444. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/bin/dh-make-perl line 445. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/bin/dh-make-perl line 445. Writing tests ........ done I managed to fix this with the use of --desc (report bug coming on that one) but then I get stuck on the following: Error: /home/tom/Devel-Cover-0.53/Makefile.PL did not return a true value at /usr/share/perl5/Module/Depends/Intrusive.pm line 60. running perl Makefile.PL by itself doesn't seem to have a problem.
