Perl compilation problem

[Youlette Etienne_2]

Hello Everyone,

I have just installed perl5.6.1 on an hpux 11.0 server. I previously had perl 5.0 installed. When I run one of my previos perl programs, which contains the "use Cwd" line, I get the following error:

Can't locate Cwd.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1 /opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.1 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl .) at ./system.perl line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./system.perl line 7.

Program worked fine with the previous version.
Any help in solving this problem is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Youlette,

Looks like you need the Cwd.pm
You can download the module from http://search.cpan.org/search?disk=Cwd

or

http://www.cpan.org/authords/id/L/LI/LIBERTY/Cwd-2.06.tar.gz

Once you download the file gunzip and untar it. Then run
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

This would install the module on your system.

Hi Youlette,

though Ramesh's recipe is generally correct something seems to have gone wrong with your installation, because to my knowledge the Cwd module is part of Perl's core distribution.

What happens if you say (as non-root user) "perldoc Cwd"?
Do you get the POD.
If not you should look in Perl's installation path, usually something like
# find /opt/perl5/lib -name Cwd.pm
/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1/Cwd.pm

Check if your @INC array includes this search path,

# perl -e 'print "@INC\n"'
/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC2.0 /opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.
6.1/PA-RISC2.0 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.1 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl .

If however find couldn't spot it follow Ramesh's instruction, and install the missing module.
Chances are however that other core modules might be missing in your installation.
