Making Paws goes into infinite loop on Windows / Strawberry Perl

[wjens]

I'm using the latest version of Strawberry Perl on Windows 2019.

C:\MOD>perl -v

This is perl 5, version 40, subversion 0 (v5.40.0) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread

When making Paws, it gets hung up on Ref::Util::XS. I can't tell if this is a Paws problems or a Ref::Util::XS problem.

Neither; it is an installation issue. Ref::Util::XS installation completed successfully, but CPAN.pm does not then detect it to satisfy the dependency of Ref::Util. You may wish to contact a general Perl support channel to debug why the installation is not recognized; the first thing I would try is to install another module and see if CPAN.pm then recognizes it's installed, or if it is specifically an issue recognizing Ref::Util::XS; I suspect it is a more general issue in your case. Another option is to try installing with cpanm, which I believe strawberry perl includes or can otherwise be downloaded in a single script from https://cpanmin.us.

[wjens]

I started over with a fresh install of Strawberry Perl and used cpanm to install Paws but it fails in a different place.

Any thoughts?

[pplu]

Would need to see the build.log to confirm what is happening to Module::CPANTS::Analyse.

Maybe you can try installing Test::Timer with no tests... cpanm -n Test::Timer or force-installing it... as it shouldn't affect Paws.

[wjens]

Installed Test::Timer without test, but Paws failed.

The only other modules that I've installed were the following.
cpanm MIME::Lite cpanm Config::IniFiles cpanm Switch cpanm Win32::ChangeNotify cpanm Net::SFTP cpanm IniConf cpanm Regexp::IPv6

FWIW I only need Paws for SecretsManager, so if there's a way to just install a subset for this, that would be great.

build.log

[pplu]

Installing Paws by parts has been on the TODO list for quite some time, but needs some work still. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Reviewing the build.log, the install fails because the Paws::Credential::CredProcess test fails on Windows. You can install Paws without testing and everything should be OK, since it's not even a default credential provider, and it's possibly only it's test failing on Windows (#259).

[wjens]

I'm getting closer - Paws installed without tests. I can access SecretsManager but it's throwing alerts when I do (script continues).

• Installed by hand, and it went away.

[pplu]

This looks like a problem with OpenSSL / IO::Socket::SSL on your system :(

Paws uses HTTP::Tiny, which relies on IO::Socket::SSL to speak HTTPS (https://metacpan.org/pod/HTTP::Tiny). Can you build a small script that uses HTTP::Tiny to visit any https website? I understand that this should be failing for you. If you get it to work (reinstalling IO::Socket::SSL?) Paws should be happy.

On the other hand, you are using Perl 5.40. I know that older Strawberry Perls had worked (can't remember exact versions). Maybe if you try with an older Strawberry Perl you have better luck...)
