Hello All,
this may be silly, but here's my issue:
I need the module 'GDBM_File' for a script somebody wrote. Hwever, the script doews not find the module. This module is supposed come with Perl-5-8-6 (I have that installed). Any attempt to get said module results in attempting to download perl all over again.
I wonder if there is a way to use the source posted in CPAN?? I can't seem to find any docs on how to install the module from source.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can't locate GDBM_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

at ./abc123.pl line 47.
Update:
I found the module. I upgraded my perl from the ports collection. Now I'm looking into putting this path in the right place to let perl find it!
peek# find . -name GDBM_File.pm -print
./usr/src/contrib/perl5/ext/GDBM_File/GDBM_File.pm

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>

-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
