in thread System vs. User module version of List::Util

I don't don't know which directory List::Util was installed into.

At the shell prompt:

$ locate List/Util.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/List/Util.pm $

You should expect to have at least 2 entries - one being the system version and one being your manually installed version.

    Well, that worked locally...

    me@office:~$ locate List/Util.pm /home/me/.cpan/build/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-7.24-adRDIa/bundled/Scalar-Lis +t-Utils/List/Util.pm /home/me/.cpan/build/Scalar-List-Utils-1.45-zv9hHr/blib/lib/List/Util. +pm /home/me/.cpan/build/Scalar-List-Utils-1.45-zv9hHr/lib/List/Util.pm /home/me/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi/List/Util.pm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.2/List/Util.pm

    but not remotely...

    fantasy@fantasy.xecu.net [~]# locate List/Util.pm -bash: locate: command not found

      It's 2017. A general-purpose server without "locate" installed has not been properly set up. Ask your sysadm to install it (from the package manager if there is one - on RedHat etc. the package is mlocate), run updatedb and try again.

      Of course, if you installed the newer List::Util on both boxes in precisely the same way then the module will be in precisely the same location. Did you look in /home/me/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi/ on the remote server?

        'A general-purpose server without "locate" installed has not been properly set up.'

        This isn't true, for various reasons. Not everyone runs a 'general purpose' server for basic hosting. Minimal packages/systems reduce potential problem surfaces and maintenance required. Regardless the topic of OPs perceived problems with their hosting provider have a long history, predating your account creation. Sane courses of action have been discussed many times and ignored.

        locate was not helpful at work when I worked with CentOS 5 (or, 6 perhpas) for its database was not maintained enough (NFS mounts; stale database; changes in installed software, etc.). find was the only logical choice to locate any thing that I cared about with certainty.

        hippo, Xecu.net is set up very different from my computer.

        • Xecu.net uses cpanel 64.0 (build 24). I use Debian 8 (codename: jessie).
        • On Xecu.net, my home dir is /www/fantasy, on my computer my home dir is /home/me.
        • When I install modules into my dir on Xecu.net, I use a web interface. When I install modules on my computer, I use the command line.

        So, nothing is the same between my Xecu.net account set up and my local set up.

        No matter how hysterical I get, my problems are not time sensitive. So, relax, have a cookie, and a very nice day!
