Errors Compiling Latest Build 2187

[Randymarsh9]

I updated my source code today, but when I went to compile it, I got this list of errors causing the world to fail to build

Clearly, it looks like it's a problem with perl, I have 5.12, but I compiled just fine yesterday. I did not run into this issue until updating to 2187.

[Uleat]

What revision were you running previously?

I don't see anything in the last two revision logs that would cause a world failure.

[Randymarsh9]

Honestly, I recompiled just fine yesterday with the latest source. I have no idea why it isn't working now. Is it possible for perl to just spontaneously quit working properly?

[Uleat]

If nothing was changed between builds, the only thing that I could think of would be having logged in as a different user
without permissions being set.

Someone else may have a better clue though..I lost mine a few years ago...

[lerxst2112]

It isn't linking properly.

Potential reasons for this:

1) You had changed the source to reference a different perl version than the default and accidentally reverted that change.
2) You somehow lost the perl directory in your library search path.
3) You moved perl to a different directory.
4) Sunspots.

[Randymarsh9]

Yep, that was it. It was referenced 5.14, so I just had to change it back to 5.12. Thank you for suggesting that.
