Perl client on OS X

Other Client Libraries

I have tried installing the perl client library but cannot get it to find libcouchbase installed vie homebrew per the instructions. The perl client library builds but make test fails:

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/00-load.t .. 1/?

The message there seems to indicate that libcouchbase is missing. Does brew list | grep couchbase in fact show libcouchbase as installed? This should be described in the brew dependencies, but could be a bug.

@mnunberg may know some more, as he maintains this as a community effort.

You may have better luck using a Perl provided by homebrew, or perhaps by adding /usr/local/lib to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

FWIW - I ended up getting around this issue by downloading the CPAN source and passing the paths to the lib and include to Makefile.PL
