Re: Can't locate Net/Telnet.pm in @INC

[strat]

If you use the perl downloaded from http://www.activestate.com/, try the shell-program ppm to try to install precompiled packages, e.g.

I:\>ppm
PPM interactive shell (2.1.6) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> help
Commands:
    exit              - leave the program.
    help [command]    - prints this screen, or help on 'command'.
    install PACKAGES  - installs specified PACKAGES.
    quit              - leave the program.
    query [options]   - query information about installed packages.
    remove PACKAGES   - removes the specified PACKAGES from the system
    search [options]  - search information about available packages.
    set [options]     - set/display current options.
    verify [options]  - verifies current install is up to date.
    version           - displays PPM version number

PPM> search Net::Telnet
Packages available from http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserve
+r.pl?urn:/
PPMServer:
Net-Telnet           [3.03] Interact with TELNET port or other TCP por
+ts
Net-Telnet-Cisco     [1.10] automate Cisco management
Net-Telnet-Netscreen [1.01] interact with a Netscreen firewall

and if Net::Telnet is found (as above), download and install it by

PPM> install Net-Telnet

see also: http://perlmonks.thepen.com/147012.html

if not, then go and try http://www.cpan.org/, e.g by typing into shell

perl -MCPAN -e shell

and answer all the questions (if you don't know just press enter, only entering a http_proxy and ftp_proxy is important if you use any). Then enter help to get some help

Best regards,
perl -e "s>>*F>e=>y)\*martinF)stronat)=>print,print v8.8.8.32.11.32"

How can i test the installation? I can't use the script that failed earlier when I received the error message telling me that I didn't have the net-telnet...

[runrig]

If you can't use the other script (why not?), then write a new one and run it.

Running 'perldoc Net::Telnet' will tell you if it's installed. Then you can also read the documentation to help you write your new script.
