"Couldn't find module or a distribution Pinto"

[lsiden]

When I attempt to run the install script downloaded from http://getpinto.stratopan.com it fails with the message "Couldn't find module or a distribution Pinto".

Steps:

• curl -L http://getpinto.stratopan.com >install_pinto.sh
• I edited install_into.sh so that "curl --quiet" becomes "curl -k" (ignore certificate).
• bash -x install_pinto.sh

Output is

! Couldn't find module or a distribution Pinto

I checked https://www.stratopan.com/thaljef/OpenSource/pinto-release and Pinto is indeed present.

I also tried to install Pinto directly from CPAN using Perl 5.28.0 and 5.26.1, but that fails in one of the tests (I believe in t/02-bowels/41-log.t).

Please advise which way you recommend that I proceed.

Got a bit more info to work with. I edited the script again, removed "--quiet" and added "-v" to the cpanm command in the script and got

ERROR: cannot verify www.stratopan.com's certificate, issued by ‘/C=GB/ST=Greater Manchester/L=Salford/O=COMODO CA Limited/CN=COMODO RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA’:
  Issued certificate has expired.
To connect to www.stratopan.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

However, when I added --no-check-certificate, I still get the same result.

Still stumped.

You're running into the same issue as #246. Still no word back from Jeffery on this, unfortunately. :-(

cpanm calls curl internally. You can create a ~/.curlrc file that contains -k and things should work. E.g.

# HEADS UP, DON'T DO THIS IS YOU HAVE IMPORTANT THINGS IN ~/.curlrc;
# append, or use vi, or ...
(alice)[15:04:46]~>>echo "-k" > ~/.curlrc

If you can't do that for some reason, but have access to wget, you can use it's configuration file (man wget) to pull the same trick.

[hartzell]

p.s.: REMOVE THIS OPTION WHEN YOU'RE DONE, otherwise you're disabling validation for everything.

[hartzell]

FWIW, if you're on a system where cpanm chooses to use wget instead of curl, you can achieve the same end be creating a ~/.wgetrc that contains (at least):

check-certificate=off

Same caveat about cleaning up after you're done.

The ~/.curlrc and ~/.wgetrc suggestions to disable certificate checking did not work for me.

Does anybody else have viable workaround?
