Perl >> CGI.pm problem under Redhat Linux 9.0 (perl-5.8.0)

by marmot101 » Thu, 24 Jul 2003 00:48:29 GMT

Hi,

I just installed Redhat Linux 9.0, which include perl-5.8.0. However, when I
run a perl program begin with:
use CGI /:standard/;

System complains: Can not locate CGI.pm ...

I went to perl directory: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0. There is no CGI.pm, but
there is a CGI.pm.newcgi. What should I do? rename this CGI.pm.newcgi to
CGI.pm? that sounds weird ...

Anyone can give me some suggestion?

Thanks!

> use CGI /:standard/;

try:
use CGI qw/:standard/;

Looks like you forgot the qw


'.pm' files are going to be located, typically, in your @INC
directories, so you won't see it in the place you were looking. But,
if you REALLY want to find the exact location of the file, type:

perldoc -l CGI

You should always enable warnings when developing Perl code!

I would also strongly recommend you use CPAN to upgrade to the latest
version of CGI.pm. The installation that comes with RH 9.0 seems to be
incomplete.

use either:

cpan

or

perl -MCPAN -e shell

and then "install CGI".

Okay - I see you're a 'newbie' to Perl. I suggest you start reading
the documentation.

@INC is not a file or directory on the filesystem. It's internal to
Perl. It's an array of directories where Perl can find modules that
have been installed, as well as other files needed to run scripts.

perldoc is the command to use to see the Perl documentation. You can
use the man command on Linux, but it's better to use the perldoc
command IMHO. Start with

perldoc perl

This will give a listing of all the other documents you can view to
get information on using Perl.

Possibly, RedHat has packaged CGI.pm as a separate rpm package, the
way they already do with other popular perl modules, and this package
has not been installed. Take a look at your install media to see if
there is an rpm package named Perl-CGI or similar.

Not Mandrake...but Fedora Core (Yarrow).

Settings were as follows:

IDE Configuration: Compatible Mode/Parallel Ports Only (no SATA support)
Onboard Promise Controller: IDE
Drives are: 80 GB WD Caviar SE (all-NTFS) on the Promise
Pioneer 16x DVD-ROM (primary master)
Optorite 48x24x48 CD-RW (primary slave)
40 GB WD Caviar (secondary IDE)

The limitation is the severe lack of built-in SATA support in the 2.4.x
kernels *earlier* than 2.4.21!

You need an MP kernel to support HT (Fedora Core includes MP and SP kernels;
so does Mandrake, so check to see which kernel you are booting with!)

System is as follows:

ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe
2.6 GHz P4C/HT
512 MB DDR333
ATI AIW 9700 Pro
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Onboard Intel Gig-E
Dual FireWire (one onboard, one on the ZS)
