can't install Time::HiRes

[S. Zeidler]

hi there,

When I try to install Time::HiRes-1.52 using Perl 5.8.0 under Linux I get
this warning with (perl Makefile.pl):
NOTE: if you get an error like this (the line number may vary):
Makefile:91: *** missing separator
then set the environment variable LC_ALL to "C" and retry.

Which environment variable is meant, %ENV from Perl or the Shell?
Setting 'LC_ALL=C' on the console, did not work.

When I try to 'make test', I get this error message:
Makefile:91: *** missing separator stop

In the file of the distrubtion of Time::HiRes 'Changes' is a note, that
since version 1.50 the message above will appear.
- add a message (for non-core builds) to Makefile.PL about the LC_ALL=C
workaround
What is a 'non-core-build'??

Thanks for your help!

greets Steffen

Hmm. You should export it to make it visible from child processes.
For sh, bash, ksh :

$ LC_ALL=C
$ export LC_ALL

Time::HiRes comes with perl 5.8.x. Building it along perl is known as a
"core build" (see the perlhack manpage for the relevant jargon.)

Thank you for answer.
