I searched in ppm ripository,there also this module is not locating

Apparently this module is in the uwinnipeg.ca PPM repository. You'd better add this repository to you repository list in PPM, you'll likely have more luck installing other modules too.

Anonymous Monk,

I think you have not installed the module File::Alter. So take a look at A Guide to Installing Modules, A guide to installing modules for Win32 and proceed further.

Script to update your PPM Repositories, by tphyahoo, will let you easily add repositories (such as the one bart recommended).

If you just want to view the contents of @INC, the following script might be useful:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
# Display the contents of @INC 
warn "\@INC is: ", join(' ', @INC), "\n";

However, I think prasadbabu's suggestions for proceeding further are just the ticket for you.

HTH,

Also there's an easier way to find where @INC points to. Just enter perl -V on the command line, and @INC is listed as one of the outputs (along with trivia like what compiler was used to compile the perl you're using, library paths, etc.)

Any modules you install will end up in one of those paths when it gets installed. You can also put custom modules there to be found for other reasons. I've split up things like this for various weird reasons dealing with multiple perl versions on different install locations on the same machine.
