Hi Greg, As you can see this perl module (2.0.15) is quite old because of this probably doesn't support per 5.12 any more. http://search.cpan.org/~pmqs/IO-Compress-Bzip2-2.015/ I think it's better to use a more resent version. http://search.cpan.org/~pmqs/IO-Compress-2.037/ Contains IO:Compress:Bzip2 http://search.cpan.org/~pmqs/IO-Compress-2.037/lib/IO/Compress/Bzip2.pm I see that this package already exists: perl-IO-Compress in devel:languages:perl Regards, Joop.

All,

Can someone who knows perl take a look at perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2 and get it to compile for openSUSE and then enable the opensuse repos for it?

That seems like it would be useful module for lots of perl programs, so I assume there are other packages that would benefit from it being available.

== why I need it

I'm trying to update a perl app/module (perl::Image::ExifTool) that has a new requires (per the readme) and now it needs IO::Compress::Bzip2

We have that in D:L:P, but it is disabled for opensuse builds:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2&project=devel%3Alanguages%3Aperl

I branched it to my home to see what happens with openSUSE builds. They all fail:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2&project=home%3Agregfreemyer%3Abranches%3Adevel%3Alanguages%3Aperl

I tried a local build, and it is apparently the self tests that fail

Since, I'm not an experienced perl programmer this is over my depth.
