Perl modules installation

[nanoux]

Hi would like to get some help on Perl installation in HP-UX 11iv3:

"root@host/opt/perl/bin$>ppm
Can't load module Data::Dumper, dynamic loading not available in this perl.
(You may need to build a new perl executable which either supports
dynamic loading or has the Data::Dumper module statically linked into it.)
at /opt/perl_32/bin/ppm3-bin line 17
Compilation failed in require at /opt/perl_32/bin/ppm3-bin line 17.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/perl_32/bin/ppm3-bin line 17.

&Config::AUTOLOAD failed on Config::launcher at /opt/perl_32/lib/5.8.8/IA64.ARCH
REV_0-thread-multi/Config.pm line 72.

After compiling with the Bundle-libnet-1.00, we are unable to load the 32bit-perl version."

Shalom,

Common issue: The module not knowing where the proper version of perl is.

Check the requirements against -v on the perl being used in the module. You may need to manually change the perl modules to reflect the change.

Sorry ,but can you guide being more specific , as I am trying to install these set of perl modules from CPAN in 11iv3 first time.

Where in the module can i check for the perl being used?to change the version.
I beleive it uses 32bit perl by default in 11iv3 mission critical OE?

perl -V
&Config::AUTOLOAD failed on Config::launcher at /opt/perl_32/lib/5.8.8/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi/Config.pm line 72.

Hi:

You are running (by default) the 32-bit Perl. You can verify this with 'perl -V'. Look at the paths in @INC. To switch to the 64-bit binary, remove the symbolic link that points '/opt/perl' to '/opt/perl_32' and create a new symlink to '/opt/perl_64'.

Any modules that you have already installed in the 32-bit environment will have to be reinstalled again in the 64-bit one.

Using CPAN to fetch and install Perl modules should _NOT_ require any diddling with the modules themselves!

Regards!

Hi,

How about reinstalling the perl bundle from your OE media ? Then
don't forget to specify '-x reinstall=true' to swinstall command.
By reinstalling, ppm should work again. Also 'perl -V' or 'perl
-v' should work.

Hope this helps you

How to build a new perl executable which either supports dynamic loading ?

Hi (again):

This would appear to be Perl from HP's depots, but some details like it's version from 'swlist|grep -i perl' might be useful. Add the full output of 'perl -V' too.

Does:

# perl -V|grep -i dynamic

...return anything?

See this link:

Yes it returns:

Which the perl bundle version are you using ? Please give us
your output of 'swlist | grep perl'.

By reinstalling the perl bundle, does ppm work ?

I attempted to install Bundle::libinet-1.00 on 11.31 0903:

# swlist | grep perl
perl E.5.8.8.C Perl Programming Language
PHSS_39653 1.0 32-bit perl patch on E.5.8.8.C
PHSS_39693 1.0 64-bit perl patch on E.5.8.8.C
#
# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::libnet'
...
...
Running install for module 'Net::Telnet'
Running make for J/JR/JROGERS/Net-Telnet-3.03.tar.gz
...
...
Running install for module 'Net::Cmd'
Running make for G/GB/GBARR/libnet-1.22.tar.gz
...
...
#

Afterwards, ppm and perl -V/perl -v work.
