Perl Module problem

hotpower — Thu, 12 May 2005 13:26:15 GMT

Hello All,

I have Perl 5.6.1 running on a HP-UX 11.11 and I am trying to install the module Text-CSV_XS. I got the make file but when I tried to do a make, it gave me errors saying gcc is not there. I have looked at articles on how to install GCC but I don't really understand, it seems as if I need to install a few other packages before I could install gcc. Does anyone know or can provide me with instuctions on how I should proceed?
I need this module in order to run my perl script.

Thanks in advance!

perl -v

You need to be perl 5 or above. I've seen a lot of systems that have /usr/contrib/bin/perl

Sometimes its Perl 4, which can't properly load the modules.

Download gcc and binutils binary depots for 11.11 v1 and install with swinstall.

# swinstall -s /tmp/binutils.depot \*
# swinstall -s /tmp/gcc.depot \*

Much easier: get an more recent perl build that already include that module (and lots of other useful stuff) from my site.

You can also use Text::CSV instead of Text::CSV_XS, and then you don't need a C compiler at all and still get the same functionality, only a little bit slower.
