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

Hi, i am using strawberry perl when I use to run with XML::Fast, it given error like Can't locate XML/Fast.pm, so i downloaded XML::Fast .tar.gz file from CPAN. and i extracted and i copied Fast.pm file and pasted in "vendor/lib/xml" after that I tried to run but now it given error like "Can't locate loadable object module XML::Fast @INC", I Google it to overcome this error, every body say it will come when you copy .pm file like that , I don't know how to overcome this problem.

it given error like Can't locate XML/Fast.pm Yes, you need to install XML::Fast. On Strawberry Perl the simplest way to do that is to run: `cpan -i XML::Fast` [download] so i downloaded XML::Fast .tar.gz file from CPAN. and i extracted Well ... that's another alternative ... but, having extracted the tarball, you then need to cd to the top level source folder (ie the folder that contains the Makefile.PL) and run, in succession: `perl Makefile.PL dmake test dmake install` [download] I Google it to overcome this error, every body say it will come when you copy .pm file like that Not correct. That will work for some modules, but not perl extensions (such as XML::Fast) that contain code that needs to be compiled. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`cpan -i XML::Fast` is calling cpan from the command prompt These tutorials walk you through the process Tutorials: Modules: How to Create, Install, and Use : Installing Modules	[reply] [d/l]

You've got to properly install the module, not just copy Fast.pm. To do that, run `perl Makefile.PL make test make install` [download] (or replace 'make' with the name of your make utility if there's no 'make' executable). Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply] [d/l]
