Cannot install ExifTool because of strict hashpairs
Attempt to install ExifTool to CPerl failed due to strict hashpairs. Because the existing post of fixes does not list ExifTool, could you suggest how to fix ? Many thanks !
$ sudo cpan5.30.0 App::cpanminus
$ head -n 1 `which cpanm`
#!/usr/local/bin/cperl5.30.0
$ sudo cpanm Image::ExifTool
The error is
Only pair in map hash assignment allowed while "strict hashpairs", got 4 elements at /home/test/.cpanm/work/1598527653.7099/Image-ExifTool-12.00/blib/lib/Image/ExifTool/Validate.pm line 154.
Compilation failed in require at /home/test/.cpanm/work/1598527653.7099/Image-ExifTool-12.00/blib/lib/Image/ExifTool.pm line 2165.
t/ExifTool.t .......
Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
The corresponding line in Validate.pm
153 # generate lookup for any IFD
154 my %stdFormatAnyIFD = map { %{$stdFormat{$_}} } keys %stdFormat;
155
This module does not confirm to the strict rules of cperl or perl6. Add a no strict to it's scope before line 2165.
Just from looking at it, it looks extremely fishy, not to say wrong.
ExifTools can be installed to CPerl after no strict "hashpairs" is added immediately after use strict in Validate.pm.
Furthermore, perlcc runs fine towards a hello-world script that uses ExifTools installed.
Many thanks for your great work and kind help !
