Env:Modulecmd issue

[TeTeKe]

Hi,
I'm using Env::Modulecmd (after some searching) in my perl script trying to load my environment module, but somehow it's not working.
Here's a simple command line example,

% perl -e 'use Env::Modulecmd { load => 'VDIkit' }'

This produced the error message below:

Unable to execute 'modulecmd perl load VDIkit':
-> No such file or directory
Error loading module VDIkit at -e line 1
BEGIN failed--complilation aborted at -e line 1.

Please advise,
teteke

The documentation for Env::Modulecmd indicate that the the "module" should exist in your PATH. Is VDIkit in one of the directories within your PATH?

thanks for the reply.

Yes, 'VDIkit' module exists on my module path setting $MODULEPATH. Under linux, I can load it fine with "% module load VDIkit"

But do you have a bin/modulecmd or bin/module or whatever its called in your $PATH?

Hello ,

Why don't you want to load your module normally, is there any reason?

For example:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

=alternative
BEGIN {
    push ( @INC,"/home/tinyos/Monks/");
}
use My::Math qw(add);
=cut

use lib qw(/home/tinyos/Monks);
use My::Math qw(add);

my $addition = add(19, 23);
print $addition . "\n";

__DATA__

$ perl test.pl
42

In my dir /home/tinyos/Monks I have my module My::Math or My/Math.pm.

Sample of module for replication purposes:

package My::Math;

use strict;
use warnings;
use Exporter qw(import);

our @EXPORT_OK = qw(add multiply);

sub add {
    my ($x, $y) = @_;
    return $x + $y;
}

sub multiply {
    my ($x, $y) = @_;
    return $x * $y;
}

1;

Simple straight forward and the job is done.

Hope this helps.

My modules are environment modules, which are used to setup environment variables for specific EDA tools (cadence,mentor,etc..) so they can be invoked correctly.
Thanks,
