-gentlemen,

"i run opensuse 12.2 note - i have serous troubles with some modules. Well i think that can be caused of some messi perl-installation: " We've established in previous threads you don't have the module prerequisites installed. As advised, review you other posts and the replies, read http://learn.perl.org, the tutorials section of this site. If you're still unable to achieve this one task, it may be better to pay someone to do it for you. You've spent a vast amount of time working on this one problem, with seemingly little results. Update: they posted this (and by the looks of it, many of their other posts) on the Opensuse forums.	[reply]

What problems exactly do you have? You can probably have more that one Perl installed, but it cannot be easily checked since it could be installed anywhere (and in many possible ways). Try checking in /usr/local and /opt. Try checking whether perlbrew is installed on your system. Sorry if my advice was wrong.	[reply]

Re^3: Opensuse 12.2 how can i check if i do run one or two versions of Perl?! by aitap (Curate) on Oct 31, 2012 at 15:06 UTC
Was perlbrew installed before you installed it this time? I meant that you need just to check for its presence (which would have meaned that there is a custom-installed Perl apart from packaged Perl), not to install (or use) it. You can still try to install another Perl and see if it solves your problem, but this is a wrong way. And you still didn't show us (or link us to) the errors you receive. Can you please do it? Sorry if my advice was wrong.	[reply]

Which errors? The same as your previous post? If so that's nothing to do with Perl, or perlbrew. How do I post a question effectively?. As you continue to fail to provide the details of the problems you're having the answers still evade you.	[reply]
