Quick Wiki ... not on this box :(

[ #12907 ]
Thought I'd install CGI::Kwiki on my box here as a personal todo, ideas and thoughts site. Unfortunately it doesn't work on Windows :(

It complains that I haven't got a PERL5LIB, even though its a Registery setting and just for added value I put it in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Still no joy. If I had the time I would look though and figure out where it thinks PERL5LIB is stored, but alas I don't, so I won't.

Back to pen and paper....

    It does work honest! Ignore the failed tests and give it a go. If you have a look on CPAN, check the RT entry for it and you will see:

    I don't know if you got http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/cpan-testers/2003-04/msg02224.html but you still got the same problem

    #ok(system("PERL5LIB=../../blib/lib;../../blib/script/kwiki-install") == 0);
    ok(system("$^X -Mblib=../../blib/lib ../../blib/script/kwiki-install") == 0);

    I've pointed this out to Brian, and he says he'll fix it.

    • Thanks. Will try that tomorrow. I was most disappointed not to have it up and running. I've been meaning to try it for a while and just haven't had the time.

        I went though the same cycle. I thought this looks "cool", tried to install it, it failed, gave up for a bit and then tried again.

        Once you look at the tests, you can see why the tests won't run on a non-Unix box, and if you check the subsequent tests you'll see that they are so basic as to being next to useless.

        However that aside, I think it's a great little application. Brian is a busy bod, but seems to take some suggestions on board, so it's worth nagging him to make changes to the core, and it's desi

        • I had a quick (haha) look at the Kwiki Wiki (!!) and didn't see anything obvious for a fix, but then I didn't have the time to do a delve into the code.

          Did the fix, ran kwiki_install and as if by magic the Wiki appeared :)

          Lovely. Thanks for the fix.
