PHP-Perl extension

[Tgone]

Hi,

I'm trying to install the PHP-Perl extension with cvs but I'm getting
the following error:

[root@localhost conf]# cvs -d :pserver:cvs.php.net:/repository co
pecl/perl
cvs checkout: authorization failed: server cvs.php.net rejected access
to /repository for user root
cvs checkout: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password

This command comes from:
http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-perl.php

Any ideas?

yea, that's the problem! the site says nothing about a password. i was
hoping somebody on here may know the password.

You're running 'cvs' as the root user, and you're trying to login to the
repo as the root user. You need to login to the repo with an appropriate
anonymous user.

A quick Google search for 'cvs.php.net anon user' yielded the following site
with information and instructions for how to login to that particular CVS
server:

http://www.php.net/anoncvs.php

The appropriate CVS command for what you're trying to use would appear to
be:

cvs -d :pserver:cv*****@cvs.php.net:/repository co pecl/perl

This works for me, without doing 'cvs login' or any of that crap... I have
the PECL perl extension checked out.

HTH,
Mike

How about downloading the published source code, from the stable version?
