error "Can't locate XML/Parser.pm in @INC" at new perl version

[uida1154]

Hello all,

I had a perl script running on an old perl version, but last weekend the server migrated to solaris 2.8 with perl version v5.8.0 built for sun4-solaris.

The script begins as following:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use FindBin;
use lib $FindBin::Bin;
use XML::Parser;

The error

Can't locate XML/Parser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/uida1154/ccm_wa/Pt_Ehv/SQS-uida1154/SQS/Product_cm_items/Tooling/Crpr /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at crpr_collector_6 line 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at crpr_collector_6 line 5.

Anybody ideas how to solve it?

try your script with using Findbin and see if that helps.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
#use FindBin;
#use lib $FindBin::Bin;
use XML:arser;

Ask the guys that made the migration, if they installed perl from scratch or upgraded perl.
If they installed the new perl, tell them to install the module you want.

Try to find the XML/Parser.pm file in your machine. Get the directory and then push it to @INC

BEGIN {push @INC,"/directory/XML"};

Thank you all for your help. The problem has been found and is solved.

It appears that the new perl version expects the XML:arser module within a sub-path like XML/Parser.pm instead of the old way Parser.pm where within Parser.pm is stated XML:arser.
