Perl module problem

**Outlaw** · 05-03-2005, 08:28 PM

Greets,
I'm trying to use clusterssh which uses two perl modules. I compiled and installed the two modules and did as the clusterssh readme suggested:

Code:

For each of these modules, run the following command.  If it fails, download
and install the module from http://search.cpan.org/
        Tk, Config::Simple

        $ perl -M&lt;module&gt; -e &quot;print&quot;
i.e.
        $ perl -MTk -e &quot;print&quot;

This does not work as a regular user. Each of those verifications works for root. The program launches if i run as root, but of course I use no direct root ssh access.

Code:

$ perl -MTk -e &quot;print&quot;
Can&#039;t locate Tk/Event.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 .) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Tk.pm line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Tk.pm line 13.
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

Code:

# perl -MTk -e &quot;print&quot;
#

This looks like an environment or permission problem, but not sure where to begin. Modules were installed using

Code:

unpack to /tmp
cd into module dir

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Any help would be most appreciated

You could (as the user) use perl -MCPAN -e 'install Module::Name::Here'

That's not exactly elegant..

If nobody here posts something better, I'd check the perl beginners mailing list.

Check for the modules in /usr/lib/perl or /usr/lib/perl5. Make sure the permissions all look good.

Gaah! Good 1

The directories were installed according to root's strict umask. So a simple

Code:
