Dear all,

I'm trying to install Readonly.pm. I couldn't install at the default path as I don't have root permission.
I've therefore installed it in ~misc/perl_lib, where I do have permissions, by typing

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/misc/perl_lib;
make;
make test;
make install;

I then copied Readonly.pm to ~/misc/perl_lib (it was buried in ~/misc/perl_lib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/ ) and added

...
use lib '~/misc/perl_lib';
...
[download]

to the top of my script. I got a can't locate Readonly error, so I tried adding

...
use lib '~/misc/perl_lib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/';
...
[download]

but still got the can't find error, as below, even though the correct diretories seem to be in @INC:

Can't locate Readonly.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
~/misc/perl_lib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/
~/misc/perl_lib
/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.5/x86_64-l....etc

Any suggestions??
thanks!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
