Re^4: Using Sendmail.pm problem

Aha! This is what I am getting running -

perl -MMail::Sendmail -le 'print $INC{"Mail/Sendmail.pm"}'
[download]

gmitest1@mckinley..gmdwit: /home/gmitest1/juice/scripts => Mail/Sendma
+il.pm   
Mail/Sendmail.pm: package:  not found
Mail/Sendmail.pm[6]: =head1:  not found
Mail/Sendmail.pm[8]: Mail::Sendmail:  not found
Mail/Sendmail.pm[10]: =cut:  not found
Mail/Sendmail.pm[12]: =:  not found
Mail/Sendmail.pm[18]: syntax error at line 19 : `(' unexpected
[download]

Any more suggestions?

Thanks!

Is this an exact transcript of your shell window (where your prompt is everything up to the `=>`): `gmitest1@mckinley..gmdwit: /home/gmitest1/juice/scripts => Mail/Sendmail.pm` If so, you're giving the Perl module name as a command to your shell, which would explain all the error messages: the shell is trying to execute the package declaration and the POD inside the PM file. As davorg has mentioned, you really need to use the proper installation tools to make this work. Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I guess I don't have a choice but to have the system admin install this perl module in the proper manner Thank you all!	[reply]

I guess I don't have a choice but to have the system admin install this perl module in the proper manner Not true. It's possible to install modules using the standard method, but into a non-root directory.

Is this on the working server or the broken server? Looks a bit strange anyway. Looks like your shell is trying to execute a Perl module. Something is definitely broken there. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
