Term::ANSIColor Issue

[ylluminate]

On a linux (Ubuntu 11.10) server I'm seeing that the bright_ are evoking an error: Invalid attribute name bright_black at /usr/share/perl5/App/Ack.pm line 1155 

What may be at play here?

Thanks,

Strange ! 

Are you using the Ubuntu Perl or a custom build? 

Ubuntu app-ack package or download/build ack from CPAN? 

From your message, i expect Ubuntu both?

   which perl; perl -v

Check if getting matching ANSI or picking up an odd one that came with something else 

   perl -MTerm::ANSIColor -le 'print $INC{"Term/ANSIColor.pm"}'

 

I may have an 11.10 to check on ... Both Ubuntu's packaged 'ack-grep' and my own built ack are working for me under Ubuntu 10.04.

Hi Bill, thanks for the note.  I'm running stock Ubuntu 11.10 config on this box (it's just a log drain server for various other servers).  On my output I'm getting for `which perl; perl -v`:

/usr/bin/perl

This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 4 (v5.12.4) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

(with 45 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

…

`perl -MTerm::ANSIColor -le 'print $INC{"Term/ANSIColor.pm"}'` yields:

/usr/share/perl/5.12/Term/ANSIColor.pm

I did install with `aptitude install ack-grep`.

Hmm.  Interesting.

Your Perl 5.12 includes Term/ANSIColor.pm 2.02   (vs 5.8.*, 1.9.*; 5.10 2.00;  5.13/5.14, 3.00 )

I see bright_ definitions in 3.00+ only.

 http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/RRA/Term-ANSIColor-3.01/ChangeLog 

But Ack uses 'bold green', not bright_green by default, so where is use of bright_* coming from.

Are you putting bright_black in $ENV{ACK_COLOR_FILENAME}  , or ackrc ? 

If so, you'll need to update Term::ANSIColor to 3.00 or better, either by building Perl 5.14 or fetching it from CPAN  and putting it in a lib ahead of the built-in.
