[teser]

I am on a Solaris 7 server. Want to use the following modules:

use LWP::Simple;
use Mail::Mailer;

Did this to find if I had them:
perl -e "use Mail::Mailer" (and did it for LWP::Simple)


Both came back with:[tt]
Can't locate Mail/Mailer.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502
/sun4-solaris-thread /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
/5.005/sun4-solaris-thread /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line [/tt]


I thought these two modules came with the standard Perl download.
If not then I need to say/ask what to my Solaris administrator to get these two modules??

One possibility to check....

Be sure that you are really looking at the correct perl installation. For various reasons, some machines will end up with multiple perl installations. For instance on one of the Solaris boxes I work on, our sys admin maintains a perl installation #!/usr/bin/perl and a newer installation at #!/usr/local/bin/perl. There are modules in the newer one that are not in the older one. My environment path variable lists /usr/bin/ before /usr/local/bin, so from a prompt I get the older perl by default. To get the newer one, I have to explicitly type /usr/local/bin/perl (or, obviously, I could fix my path ....'guess I'll do that now). You'd hope that would not happen, but, alas, it has. 'hope this helps
