Perl copy failed no such file or directory

I went to the event viewer and went to this error, and gave me this error message when I attempted to start Apache 2. I am having a hard time. I maybe looking this at the wrong way. Can anyone help me? July Dear kp, This did take me some time to figure out, so I thought I'd share my conclusions. The nul device is used by the setup scripts. If the nul device is not present, trying to access it from a command script will give you a "file not found" error.

This will cause the Xampp installation scripts to fail, and when trying to run Apache from the Xampp control window, it will produce the results you describe above. You can test if your system has a faulty null. Type in test. The is most likely due to one of two reasons : a your null. So there are two cases to handle: Case a 1. Scan your computer with anti-malware, anti-virus, anti-rootkit software to make sure it is clean. Copy a fresh null. The size might differ, but it should be a small file of around kilobytes.

Reboot, and check that the new null. Hi, I have one repository that I am scanning and the job keeps failing with the below error. AlDanial closed this Feb 26, AlDanial mentioned this issue May 1, Failure - possibly path is too long Sign up for free to join this conversation on GitHub.

If the destination second argument already exists and is a directory, and the source first argument is not a filehandle, then the source file will be copied into the directory specified by the destination, using the same base name as the source file.

It's a failure to have a filehandle as the source when the destination is a directory. Note that passing in files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information on some operating systems; it is recommended that you use file names whenever possible. Files are opened in binary mode where applicable. To get a consistent behaviour when copying from a filehandle to a file, use binmode on the filehandle. An optional third parameter can be used to specify the buffer size used for copying.

This is the number of bytes from the first file, that will be held in memory at any given time, before being written to the second file. The default buffer size depends upon the file, but will generally be the whole file up to 2MB , or 1k for filehandles that do not reference files eg.

You may use the syntax use File::Copy "cp" to get at the cp alias for this function. The syntax is exactly the same. Yes 1. Yes 2. Yes 6. Installing Plack failed. Retry with --force to force install it. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:. Just want to confirm that this is specific to 5. I've just installed Plack on Windows 10 with 5. Sorry, something went wrong.

I just want to point out that I had the same problem installing on Strawberry perl 5. However I also couldn't install on 5. Later I tried installing on 32bit Strawberry and everything went smoothly. Looking at the Makefile.
