Cannot install perl modules

Hi team,
I’m trying to do a little perl script to telnet some cisco equipment.
I’m trying to install some perl module through CPAN but I was got an error. Output is the following. Any ideas?
Using MAC OSX 10.6.4

Uninstall all CPAN-installed Perl modules

A while back, there was a large perl upgrade which required rebuilding of manually-installed Perl modules. At the time, I did not take much of any action as I did not use any applications which depended on CPAN-installed modules -- all I did was to uninstall some older Perl apps which I no longer used.
Unfortunately, that has recently changed.
Though I know exactly which modules I need to have on my system when all is said and done, I have no idea how to uninstall all of the old ones which came from the CPAN shell. Does anyone know how to do so?

rowdog wrote:
Well, modules are just files so, if you're lucky, the easy way is to find the directory where the modules were installed and delete them.
If you're unlucky, you've intermingled CPAN modules with those installed by Arch. If that's the case, you might be able to delete each module by hand but you need to be careful not to wipe out Arch's modules. This is slow and hazardous work so please be careful.
My guess would be that the files are installed in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl, because mine's empty and that's what it's for. The exact location is controlled by whatever you used to install the modules. (cpan probably, but there are others.)
If you're really lucky, you can get away with
cd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
rm -rf .
Yes, I do have such bad luck. I have used the CPAN.pm shell, the AUR, and pacman to install Perl modules. I shall do more research regarding exactly what goes where during a CPAN.pm-based install. I am not at my own computer so I cannot do all of this now. I will get back to you on this tomorrow. Thank you for your response.

How to remove/uninstall custom installed perl modules?

Hello all.
Yesterday I upgraded from 10.3.7 to 10.4.5, then started to reinstall a bundle of perl modules (via the Terminal and 'perl Makefile.PL -- make -- make test -- [sudo] make install').
As I saw too late, some of those modules I installed are now part of the standard OS X installation -- now some perl modules are twice on my machine, the 'originals' (so to say) in '/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/...', and the 're-installed' are -- as usually -- in '/Library/Perl/5.8.6/...'.
My questions:
(1) Can these duplicates do any harm while executing perl code?
(2) Is there an easy way to get rid of the duplicates (e.g., move the associated files in '/Library/Perl/5.8.6/...' to the trash)?
Fortunately I have saved the terminal output of every installation, so it should be easy to find everything that was changed.
Any advice is appreciated -- thanks in advance.

Perl has a list of paths it searches when it needs to find a given module, similar to how the shell uses the PATH variable. If the things you installed are in a directory after that which contains Apple's official stuff, your stuff is invisible. Check the section labeled "@INC" in the output of 'perl -V'...that list is searched top-to-bottom.
If what you installed is ahead of Apple's but what you installed is at least as high a version number as Apple's, again no problem in general. The modules Apple supplies have genereally quite stable API, so there's no problem if a program expects Appl'es but gets yours instead. OTOH, if you have a lower version, there could be trouble, since things may rely on the features only present in new versions (something for a certain OS X would reasonably assume "the stuff that came with that OS X" as a minimum).
Anything you installed manually you can remove manually as well, using "rm" or dragging stuff to the trash. Modules often install a .packlist file somewhere in $arch/auto/ in your perl lib dir.
I think you can often do '[sudo] make uninstall UNINST=1' to uninstall, assuming you kept the original builds or feel like redoing 'perl Makefile.PL' in the exact same version of the modules you installed. However, the 'uninstall' target is generally frowned upon by perl folks.

Can't install perl modul DBD::Oracle with XE

Hello,
I have installed oracle 10.2.0.1 XE and want now install the perl modul DBD::Oracle.
After running
perl Makefile.PL
I get the message:
Unable to locate an oracle.mk, proc.mk or other suitable *.mkfile in your Oracle installation. (I looked in

Fail installing perl modules in new sparc server

Hi,
I'm trying to install the perl modules needed by my applications in a sparc server SunFire V210 with solaris 9 64bit. All the attempts fail because the interpreter is compiled with forte, this is the explanation i got. I found a solution in CPAN called perlgcc but it doesn't work it build a bad Makefile, the file has a lot of mistakes. Perl.com people tell me to change parameters in the makefiles and Config.pm but it's very hard to find the correct values, i'm not sure i fix the correct things.still it doesn't work.
I need an urgent solution it permits me to add modules without correction in the each makefile. I hope there is a standar procedure to solve it.
Thanks!

Hi,
Here is your solution (I hope). I've being doing this this week and worked.
Look the stuff is connected with the compilers used to complie perl and as you see later other stuff on the sun. At the sun the stuff is compiled with sun compiler which is not provided on the solaris 8, 9 nor 10. Fortunately there is gcc installed on the sol10.

What to do??? Yes - you are on sol10 - then do it
1. Logon as a root
2. Check your path and compare with

/opt/sfw/bin:/opt/sfw/lib:/opt/sfw/include:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr /ccs/lib
-bash-3.00#
if differs upto the last /usr/ccs/lib modify your profile file ( anthing ofter the last /usr/ccs/lib can be aded).
3. Check out the the comands
gcc --version<br />
perl -V
4. If everything upto this step is ok you can proceed
5. You may do the installation of the perl modules in two ways:
a.) with CPAN module - Internet connection MANDATORY
b.) with perl and downloaded tar.gz module
5.a) With CPAN module
5.a.1) Launch the command to configure the CPAN module
perl -MCPAN -e shell
you will be asked to give the answers inorder to configure CPAN
5.a.2) When you see cpan> prompt do the following:
o conf makepl_arg 'CC=gcc CCCDLFLAGS=-fPIC CCFLAGS=" " OPTIMIZE=" " LD=gcc' press return
5.a.3) Type "o conf commit" press return. You may install your modules now with the install command e.g. install HTML::Parser for example.
5.b.1) Download your modules from http://www.cpan.org to your server to /var/tmp/packed or whatever folder you want.
5.b.2) unzip then untar and cd into subfolder
5.b.3) type ./Makefile.PL -t 'CC=gcc CCCDLFLAGS=-fPIC CCFLAGS=" " OPTIMIZE=" " LD=gcc'
5.b.4) Type make install
6.) In both methods you have to check if the modules are installed by issuing the commnad:
perl -e 'use Your::Module' e.g.
perl -e 'use HTTP::Parser'
if no error message on the term you are ready
Rem. The differrences are in the flags used to compile and link with these two compilers sun cc and gnu cc. There are of course problems with 64bit values on sun64bit e.g. SPARC and Intel stuff cause Perl does not support real 64bit values yet. The Perl modules should use only floating point represetnation with around 53~bit precision. But this issue depends on the module creator not you if you do not want to do the remedy.
I hope it will help you
good luck

Installing Perl Modules from CPAN

I am new to Perl and new-ish to Arch Linux. I want to start to install some packages from CPAN.
I read the perl package wiki article and while I found it on the overwhelming side, I took away that one of the recommended ways to install things from CPAN was with CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch.
So I installed this via
pacman -S perl-cpanplus-dist-arch
setupdistarch
Now I want to install some packages. The cpanp manpage (as well as an example I found) seemed to indicate that this was now as easy as
cpanp i <modulename>
However, when I go to install any module, I get errors like
monolith: ~$ cpanp i Test::Harness

Can't install perl modules for bugzilla

I'm currently attempting to install Bugzilla on my Arch server. This service depends on Perl and a collection of modules.
I attempted:
perl install-module.pl --all
... and it worked, so it seemed. However, when attempting to run my install script again, I am warned that the module DBI is not installed. I attempt to install it manually (specify it in particular with the previous command), and it says that DBI is up to date. I attempt the script again, and still get the error.
Is this a bug with Bugzilla's install script, or with the installation of Perl modules?

Here is a link to a resolution in Lion. It may also solve your Mountain Lion Perl DBD issue as well.
If you run the command below before executing your Perl script the library is found and all is well!
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/mysql/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
Put this in your .bashrc or .bash_profile.
On Apple StackExchange, Matthew Weiss had another approach.
I found on another website the following command
$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->notest(install => CPAN::Shell->r)'
This updated all my perl modules and all is back to normal. Not sure why or what, but don't care that it is working now.

Install perl module

I am trying to install the essbase.pm and have some trouble. The makefile refers to /api/lib/libmaxl directory which is not part of the windows install. Does anyone have any clue as to how to modify the makefile.PL.win32 file?ThanksRandy

Hi, under windows, the makefile refers to:$opts{MYEXTLIB} = "$EH/api/lib/libmaxl\$(LIB_EXT)";ie libmaxl.lib since the backslash in "\$(LIB_EXT)" is just there in perl to escape the $ and use the variable LIB_EXT replace the previous line by:$opts{MYEXTLIB} = "$EH/api/lib/libmaxl.lib";But, I find more practical to generate maxl msh files on the fly using perl, or using parameters for maxl scripts rather than use the essbase.pm modulehope it helpsEric BelmonPartake Consulting

Cannot install Common-modules on Portege M300

Hello everybody,
I'm Italian and I had some problems with a Portege M300. After Windows XP crash I made a new installation of XP but, of course, I lost every driver. I tried to install them but I can't do it 'cause there's not the Toshiba common modules installed.
I downloaded it but when I try to click on the setup icon nothing happens, and when I try to install other drivers same message appear (of missing common modules).
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot

Fyi.. I've tried to install DBD::Oracle version 1.24 and 1.50 but that doesn't seem to make any difference. I couldn't find any related thread either for this error so I desperately need a solution to the same(if any).
If anyone can help here, would really appreciate it or else, I will have no choice but to install previous version of oracle client.
Thanks

Cannot install Date::Calc perl module

I'm running Solaris 11 on my machine and I need to install the Date::Calc perl module in order for one of my scripts to work.
When I run the following command:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Date::Calc'
I get the following error:
Tests succeeded but one dependency not OK (Bit::Vector)
STBEY/Date-Calc-6.3.tar.gz
[dependencies] -- NA
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
When trying to install Bit::Vector first, i.e. when running the following command:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bit::Vector'
i get the following error message:

So it looks like the C compiler is missing. So I installed gcc via the following commands:
pkg install gcc-45
pkg install system/header
but I still get the same error when trying to install Bit::Vector. Indeed, when I type cc on the command-line, I get the command not found error. When I type gcc, however, I get gcc: no input files.
What should I do to fix this?
Thanks for your advice,
Dusan

So I ran the following command:
+/usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perlgcc -MCPAN -e 'install Bit::Vector'+
but it did not work either. I got the following error output.

Perl module install

Well I'm having problems getting NET::DNS, so I tried the
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'
and it worked
but when I try
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install NET::DNS'
when I go to cpan site I ran an inquery on net::dns and got
cpan> i /NET::DNS/
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /Users/mttm/.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Sat, 25 Nov 2006 23:25:04 GMT

Module Net::DNS::Check::Config (L/LL/LLT/Net-DNS-Check-0.45.tar.gz)
etc............
but I'm unable to install using
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install NET::DNS'
so what am I doing wrong? One works the other doesn't
error messages are:
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /Users/mttm/.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Sat, 25 Nov 2006 23:25:04 GMT
Warning: Cannot install NET::DNS, don't know what it is.
Try the command
i /NET::DNS/
to find objects with matching identifiers.
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Perhaps the search with i // is case-insensitive, but
the install command is case-sensitive?
I agree, I installed Net::DNS from CPAN just now without trouble. But I get the same error message if I try NET::DNS.
While some things aren't case-senstive in OS X, I think when working in the Terminal, it's best to treat everything as if it's case sensitive. I find that I have fewer problems and unexpected surprises that way.

Script cannot find perl Data:Dumper module

Good day. I live in Australia and use a script called Shepherd to update my mythtv program listings.
After upgrading a couple of days ago (first time in about 6 months) Shepherd has stopped working.
Shepherd doesn't seem to find the perl data-dumper module, which is part of the base perl install.
All my packages are up to date as of this post, and I am on the current kernel -
uname -r
3.4.9-1-ARCH
~/.shepherd/shepherd --check
ERROR:
Mandatory module 'Data::Dumper' not found.
Please see the Wiki at <a href='http://svn.whuffy.com/wiki/Installation' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://svn.whuffy.co...ki/Installation</a>
for details on how to install this module.
Shepherd is updating ~/.shepherd/output.xmltv (the listings information scraped from the net) but evidently needs the dumper module to post the data into MythTV.
I'm not sure if it has something to do with this, which I don't properly understand -
The current Arch Linux default perl installation installs updates to core modules into the perl core directories, creating file conflicts. Examples include modules such as Data::Dumper and version.
which is mentioned here.
I appear to have it installed as part of the perl base package -
sudo pacman -Qi perl

perl-cpan-meta-yaml=0.007 perl-cpanplus=0.9121 perl-cpanplus-dist-build=0.62 perl-data-dumper=2.135
So it seems Shepherd is suddenly not finding it for some reason, after the upgrade.
I tried installing the perl-data-dumper packages from the AUR (simple and concise) and neither of those made any difference.
I also tried installing the module with a cpan command (as root) but that gave me errors (which I'd rather not have to deal with unless I have to to fix this issue).

Results as follows -

I ran the full delete command after backing up the directories (there was a lot in them)

Oops. Then saw your next post saying not to do that as you'd lose the vendor modules, which I did. I had backed up so I restored, so still have the vendor stuff.

Perl modules are being installed to the wrong root directory

This is kind of a package, kind of an AUR question. I don't think it is the usual "upgrade to perl-5.20" issue; I've done lots of searching with no obvious mention of my issue.
I have downloaded the PKGBUILDs for perl-tk (in extra) and perl-pdl (in AUR). When I run makepkg on them, the resultant package has the wrong root directory. For example, perl-pdl tries to install into
/home/<username>/perl5/bin/
rather than
/usr/bin
and the libraries want to go into
/home/<username>/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/PDL
rather than something like
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/PDL
I don't think I'm doing anything unusual with the build. For perl-pdl, I download the tarball from the AUR and untar it in ~/tmp. Cd to ~/tmp/perl-pdl and then run makepkg. The start of the build process says:

It seems like the $pkgdir variable is screwed up, but non-perl AUR packages have installed just fine. Any pointers? Thanks.

As usual I am probably too late to help. If you have local::lib installed and activated, it will override your destination directory when building packages. This is accomplished by setting environment variables. Joel hinted at this and you've seemed to fix them. Here is a decent list of them, mostly written by me I believe: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pe … _variables
I've made tools that generate PKGBUILDs for perl modules and I always try to override these environment variables for just such an occasion. Entirely too much info on the subject is available at the wiki page above. Very few official PKGBUILDs will override these. Only the packages I used to maintain which retain my PKGBUILD will work for you. So... beware.

Perl module not working/installed properly

I have a perl script that worked fine on Ubuntu. I've now replaced Ubuntu with Arch and installed the perl modules I need to run this script and one of them doesn't seem to be working properly, I think I had a hiccup during installation of this particular module. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to fix this please.
This is the output of my script falling over:
[me@arch ~]$ perl -e 'use MP4::Info;'
Can't locate IO/String.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/MP4/Info.pm line 16.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/MP4/Info.pm line 16.
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
The 'MP4::Info' module "appears" to be installed ok though, as shown thusly:
[me@arch ~]$ cpan
Terminal does not support AddHistory.
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9600)
Enter 'h' for help.

Going to read '/home/wayne/.cpan/Metadata'
Database was generated on Fri, 23 Sep 2011 01:50:05 GMT
MP4::Info is up to date (1.13).
cpan[2]>
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

For some reason IO::String was not installed. Try installing it from the cpan shell.
