Hi

I am basically a perl newbie and I am trying to install the CGI.pm module. I have unzipped the the tar.gz file and moved to that directory. I am logged in as root.

When I type perl Makefile.PL
I get
/usr/local/bin/perl/: No such file or directory

I guess this means that the shell cannot file the perl interpreter. When I type

which perl

I get

/usr/local/bin/perl/

which suggests that the interpreter is in here.

I do not understand. Can anyone help me in installing this module - or point me in the direction of a decent tutorial.

Many thanks

Neil Charlton

How did you get the tar.gz and how did you get it on your machine? i.e. if you used ftp did you copy as a bianry? [sig]<p>Ged Jones<br><a href=mailto:gedejones@hotmail.com>gedejones@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Top man[/sig]
