pizza_party cool perl script

bluethundr has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi

I'm on a rather silly mission to install a great perl script on my mac called pizza_party that allows you to order pizzas from dominos.com on the command line.

Pizza Party

It requires the following perl modules:


LWP::UserAgent; HTTP::Request; HTTP::Response; HTTP::Cookies; URI::Esc
+ape; Getopt::Mixed;
[download]

They are all installed using sudo cpan. But for some reason Getopt doesn't seem to be working.


Mazdayasna:~ bluethundr$ pizza_party Can't locate Getopt/Mixed.pm in @
+INC (@INC contains: /Library/Perl/Updates/5.8.8 /System/Library/Perl/
+5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/

+line 14.

As would be suggested by cpan:


cpan[1]> install Getopt::Mixed CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.19) Going 
+to read /Users/bluethundr/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Mo
+n, 03 Aug 2009 04:27:49 GMT Getopt::Mixed is up to date (1.10).
[download]

Also I tried modifying the .bash_profile in my home directory so my manpath would accept a directory called ~/man

and moved the man page for the app there. but the mac won't recognize it. any help getting the man page registered and the app to work?

thanks!

Also I tried modifying the .bash_profile in my home directory so my manpath would accept a directory called ~/man ... Did you start a new login shell? `bash` will read `.bash_profile` only for login shells: `$ echo FOO=foo >>~/.bash_profile $ bash $ echo $FOO $ exit exit $ bash --login $ echo $FOO foo $ exit logout` [download] (You might also want to use `~/.bashrc` which is being read for every interactive (non-login) new shell...)

What do you get from `m Getopt::Mixed` [download] in `cpan`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I' afraid I come from a position of ignorance on bash on a mac and the commands available by default, but if you enter `locate GetOpt/Mixed.pm` [download] What directory is it in, if not one listed above in @INC, something went awry, try adding the following at the start of your Perl script `BEGIN{ push ( @INC, "/the/directory/I/just/found" ) ; }` [download] WARNING: if there is already a BEGIN block add the above command to the end of it rather than writing a second one.
