Help me get SortTV working!

Some further progress

First perl version check, as I beleive newer verson of perl will break FrontView ??
nas:~# perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for sparc-linux

Cpan check
nas:~# cpan -v
-bash: cpan: command not found

Make sure you have the apt-get extra installed. (I thought I had, but must have forgotten after I last had to reset back to standard firmware some time ago, after i broke stuff badly)

Then:
apt-get update
apt-get --reinstall install perl perl-base perl-modules perl-doc

Check perl version:
nas:~# perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for sparc-linux

:) Great, still same version of perl

nas:~# cpan -v
cpan script version 1.03
CPAN.pm version 1.7602

:) CPAN now installed

First need to setup a build environment on the NAS.
Follow this guide: http://www.readynas.com/?p=145
Fix cc (missing) simply by linking it to gcc, else CPAn will not be able to build.
cd /usr/bin
ln -s ./gcc ./cc

Start and configure CPAN

nas:~# perl -MCPAN -e shell
and configure CPAN - use defaults, they work fine, however I changed:

Policy on building prerequisites (follow, ask or ignore)? [ask] follow

Now install the missing required libs for sortTv using CPAN

at the cpan shell promt do:

install TVDB::API (go have some more beer, maybe pass out, come back the next day - this takes REALLY long)

Ok, failed with XML::Parser not installing. (at this point I lost my text here, due to page timeout - thank god for a saved draft), so the rest is from memory and my shell history)

The issue with installing XML::Parser was XML::Sax, and it seemed there was a clash between CPAN version and debian lib, so I uninstalled the debian version

apt-get remove libxml-sax-perl
also need dev files for expat so install them with apt-get install libexpat1-dev

now force install of XML::Parser using : force install XML::Parser in CPAN, then try and install TVDB::API again

The next thing was to install (via CPAN) the WWW::TheMovieDB::Search module.
But it needs Perl 5.8.9 (and we have 5.8.8).
As it is a minor version difference, I opted to cheat and force install of the module for 5.8.8. If this is an issue, it will be discovered later.

cd /root/.cpan/build/WWW-TheMovieDB-Search
edit lib/WWW/TheMovieDB/Search.pm AND Makefile.PL and change 5008009 to 5008008
Build it manually
perl ./Makefile.PL
make
make install


Next
cpan install Getopt::Long
and
cpan install File::Path

at this point it kinda starts to run, and fails with

nas:# ./sorttv.pl

SortTV
~~~~~~
DRY RUN MODE: No file operations will occur on the to-sort directory, some directories may be created at the destination.
File does not exist: 501 Can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::Protocol::http"

ANd now it is time to go to sleep....
