Re^2: Perl on Unix

[tej]

Do i need to install all the modules?

Bacause i have not installed any of the module and have just copied the pm files.

It might work for many modules, but some modules have parts programmed in C (for speed reasons) and these need to be compiled.

If you install them, they usually get stored in a location where perl looks automatically so you don't need those 'use lib...' stuff

Your line

BEGIN { unshift(@INC, "\path\modules") }

is not working because backslashes have a special meaning. What you want is

BEGIN { unshift(@INC, "/path/modules") }

or

BEGIN { unshift(@INC, "\\path\\modules") }

No, on Unix you do not want unshift(@INC, "\\path\\modules"). That contains no path separator, and refers to a file or directory in the current directory with 13 characters in its name.
