[EP-tech] Re: Issues installing IRStats

[Sebastien Francois]

Hi Rob,

Yes this is not surprising, as far as I know IRStats was built against 
EPrints 2/3.0. There has been significant changes in the API since.

Hmm I've never seen that warning, perhaps you have a more version of 
PERL than I do.

Have you tried "cpan ModPerl::RegistryCooker" as root?
