[Bioperl-l] strange problem

[Chris Fields]

The issue with Build.PL may be that it is trying to update  
Scalar::Util to the latest (1.19) or install it if it isn't present  
but doesn't have the correct permissions.  I myself have run into  
this problem; you must install the latest Scalar::Utils directly via  
CPAN with the correct permissions ('sudo cpan' in my case).  I'm  
guessing that using something like 'sudo perl Build.PL' should work  
as well.

I'm adding Sendu to this so he can answer.  Sendu, I know it's now  
required for Bio::Species/Bio::Taxon stuff to weaken refs but was  
there any reason why Scalar::Util needs to be v1.19?  I can't recall  
anything about it in past discussions...
