perl module install

[Scott Van Kalken]

I've got a perl module.

I get the following error when I try to run it:

Can't load '/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/mymodule.sl' for module mymodule: Permission denie
d at /opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 206.
at a.pl line 2
Compilation failed in require at a.pl line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at a.pl line 2.


Any ideas about where the hell I'm supposed to put the .sl file?

The *.sl's should be 755 and make sure that you have r-x on the directory paths down to the .sl files.

[Scott Van Kalken]

you're all legends.

Had I have read **ALL** of the posts, I would have seen that the .sl needs to be 755.

Thanks everyone.

Check the permissions of the file. You may have installed as root with too restrictive a setting for umask.

hmmmmmm

permissions are 666....

any ideas?

Go and see the perl guru (procura aka merijn) at his web site:

He has got plenty of perl stuff here.
