How to know that LWP::Simple have been installed

[rubis]

Hi all,

At the first place, I used the following code to check if LWP::Simple has been installed

eval "use LWP::Simple";
if ($@) {
print "LWP installed\n";
} else {
print "LWP not installed\n";
}

Once I runned this code, it said "LWP installed"

Then I runned another code

use LWP::Simple;

$url = '

http://www.google.com';

getstore($url, "g.html"

if (-e "g.html&quot {
$size = (stat('g.html'))[7];
print "size - $size\n";
unlink './g.html';
} else {
print "g.html - not exist";
}

There was an error said
"Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains:/usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.005 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5) at x.pl line 3
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at x.pl line3"

I don't know what's wrong. Any suggestion?? Thanks.

A few things to try:

1) do 'perldoc -l LWP::Simple' at a command prompt -
(that's a minus small L) that should tell you where
LWP::Simple exists

2) on Linux, I can do 'locate Simple.pm' and the locate
command tells you where on your filesystem(s) it
finds the file you are looking for.

Do 'perl -V' to find out what your @INC array contains.
Compare that to where you find LWP/Simple.pm
