[Mingw-users] Out of memory exception when install perl modulewith mingw shifted perl 5.8.8

[Bruce]

Thanks for the response.

I didn't install any other perl distribution, just check the perl package and apply the change in the guimain.exe at mingw/libexec/mingw-get directory.
I think it is the mingw perl distribution. And the version is 5.8.8.0. The perl.exe file is located at mingw/msys/1.0/bin.

Anyhelp?

Subject: Re: [Mingw-users] Out of memory exception when install perl modulewith mingw shifted perl 5.8.8

Hi,
I am new to mingw and perl, but a perl application I want to use need to
install a few perl modules.
I install mingw 32 bit on my win 10 64bit.
I install gcc compiler and perl. After that I install perl module using
perl cpan.
Cpan works but throw an exception when downloading package using LWP.

What perl distribution are you using?

$cpan
cpan>install Date::Calc
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /home/liubl/.cpan/Metadata
Going to read /home/liubl/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok
Going to read /home/liubl/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
Database was generated on Fri, 31 Mar 2017 16:29:02 GMT
There's a new CPAN.pm version (v2.16) available!
[Current version is v1.7602]
You might want to try
install Bundle::CPAN
reload cpan
without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
while we are running...
Out of memory during request for 40 bytes, total sbrk() is 267528192 bytes!
Lockfile removed.

It might depend on the perl distribution.

Is there any solution to this?

Maybe but unknown at the moment.

This isn't a MinGW perl it is a MSYS perl which is why I was asking.
You'll need a MSYS development environment to install changes to that
perl. This is the reason for your issue.

MSYS perl only exists to help support the use of autoconf's configure
scripts. It is a requirement for autoconf and a native version cannot
be used because it doesn't understand the POSIX paths.

Depending on your use you may want to instead install something like
Strawberry PERL. However if you are using MSYS to execute configure and
require added modules while doing so then installing the MSYS
development environment is the only option you will have.

Thanks, very clear. I will try msys perl devlopment environment.
