SID-01501: bin/statistics uses os supplied File:Temp and not lib/CPAN

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.1	Perl version:	perl 5.8.8
Category:	CategoryStatistics	Server OS:	Centos 5.8.8	Last update:	13 years ago

The setlib.cfg file in TWIKIHOME/bin appends the TWIKIHOME/lib/CPAN directory to the PERL @INC array. This means that a call to use File::Temp; results in pulling the vendor supplied File/Temp.pm and not the one in twiki. Under Centos 5.8 the seekable option is missing from File::Temp and thus statistics fails to run.

Changing statistics to add:

unshift(@INC,"/var/www/auth/twiki/lib/CPAN/lib");

after the BEGIN block and before

use TWiki;

I think the files in TWIKIHOME/lib/CPAN should be placed at the beginning of the @INC array and not pushed onto the end by setlib.cfg even if if ($defaultingCPANBASE) is true.

Discussion and Answer

You can define this in twiki/lib/LocalLib.cfg:

$CPANBASE = "$twikiLibPath/CPAN/lib/";

This will assure that the CPAN base of TWiki is in front of the Perl lib path.

I'll update the comments in twiki/bin/LocalLib.cfg.txt to clarify this.
