Created attachment 71072 [details] [review] Bug 12932: When all modules installed, Perl version check ignored The description in comment #0 is quite true, because the scope of the $checkmodule variable is local to just the module checking. If we change the scope, we can include the perl check as part of the new scope, and thus properly set its value. As Debian Jessie, Stretch and Ubuntu Xenial all have good versions of Perl by default, the easiest way to test this is to: - make sure to have some optional modules not installed. - change the system preference 'Version' to one just under the current version in your SQL client. - modify the version check line to 5.030000 - restart_all and try going to the staff client. -- This should inform you that your perl version is bad. - git reset hard back to origin/master - apply the patch - modify the version check line to 5.030000 - change the system preference 'Version' to one just under the current version in your SQL client. - restart_all and try going to the staff client. -- This should trigger the patch, and you should be informed your perl version is bad. - git reset hard back to origin/master - apply the patch - run koha qa test tools sudo apt-get remove libwebservices-ils-perl -- it's currently the only one that is really not packaged with koha-common.

During the web installer process an error variable is set if the Perl version is too old (installer/install.pl starting at line 60): $template->param( 'checkmodule' => 1 ); # we start with the assumption that there are no problems and set this to 0 if there are unless ( $] >= 5.010000 ) { # Bug 7375 $template->param( problems => 1, perlversion => 1, checkmodule => 0 ); } However, the "checkmodule" error flag gets reset in the following section where required modules are checked. If all required modules are installed the checkmodule variable gets set back to 1 and no error will be raised in the template about the old Perl version.
