Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am executing one of the Perl file in "Linux OS" I am getting an error like this:

Can't locate pathUtil.pm in @INC (you may need to install the pathUtil
+ module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.36.0/x86_64

I have found the module like Path::Util.pm. That I have Installed But the error is not resolved. I think it is asking for the combined module like pathUtil.pm, That module I haven't found the Mcpan.org also

So can anyone help me to solve this issue?

    What is this program pod_check.pl ? There are maybe instructions on how to install the missing file pathUtil.pm. The file does not exist in CPAN, so it is likely a custom module that somebody in your organization wrote.

    "So can anyone help me to solve this issue?"

    As others have already indicated, you haven't provided sufficient information for us to determine the problem. Here's some things you can do:

    • Check for pathUtil.pm in each of the five directories that @INC contains. This will confirm its absence; however, if found, check that it hasn't got permissions that prevent Perl from reading it. Show us the output from: 
      for i in `perl -e 'print "@INC"'`; do ls -l $i/pathUtil.pm; done

    • Show us the values of environment variables PERL5LIB & PERL5OPT; if there's no value, still include that information.
    • Show us the output from: perl -V
    • Tell us how you installed pathUtil.pm: manually from a tarball; via a package manager; with a utility such as cpan, cpanm, etc.
    • Show us the first 15-20 lines of pod_check.pl. We'll want to see any shebang line; what pragmata you're using; and, how you're attempting to load pathUtil.pm (if that includes a larger construct, such as a BEGIN block, include that in its entirety).
    • Tell us how you're running pod_check.pl. This could be simple like ./pod_check.pl; more involved like /path/to/perl options pod_check.pl; or possibly even using some launcher application.
    • Tell us what operating system you're using. You said Linux, but not which one: RedHat? Debian? openSUSE? ...? The O/S version may be important, so include that also.

    We may want further details but the above would provide a good starting point for initial investigations. Please ensure all code, data, and output, are enclosed in <code>...</code> tags.

    Also note that gathering this sort of information, as part of any troubleshooting exercise, will (surprisingly) often highlight the problem for you. For instance, "Oh look, I'm installing with /path/to/X/bin/cpan but running with /path/to/Y/bin/perl. Oops!".

    Is there a pathUtil.pm in the same dir as pod_check.pl? If so, the script is missing 

    use FindBin qw( $RealBin );
use lib $RealBin;
