How do I Install the signatures module on Strawberry Perl 5.10.1?

I seem to be having some issues trying to install the signatures module from CPAN using Strawberry Perl 5.10.1 on Windows XP.

I get some "undefined reference" errors during linking. I'm guessing that there is something wrong with my B::Hooks::Parser module, but reinstalling that one didn't fix my problem.

Here's the output:

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9452) Enter
'h' for help.

I also did an 'nm' on my Parser.a library (in perl/site/auto/B/Hooks/parser) and I didn't find any symbols containing 'hook'

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Or did anyone else succeed in installing the signatures module?

I can't fix it for you, but you're not the only one having this problem. There is a failure report by one of the heroic CPAN testers. My wild shot would be that if such missing symbols occur on win32, it's because the module is using non-exported symbols which get exposed on, say, Linux because things are a little less strict there. I don't have the sources handy to check, though.

Either way, it seems it's not something that's wrong on your system. It's something that needs fixing in the source. One of them.
