in thread Can't locate object method "__Load_plugins" via MozRepl

It looks as if everything is installed. In Perl/site/lib/MozRepl/Plugin, there exists Base, JSON and JSON2. Is there supposed to be anything else?

I'm honestly not sure what else that thread is trying to say (I'm pretty new to all this Perl business). Please don't judge me too harshly.

    So in lieu of the fact that I had seemingly tried everything to get this package to install correctly (there seemed to be others that were having a difficult time installing as well), I just took the easy way out and copied the entire perl64 folder from the computer with which I initially constructed the code and replaced the folder on the new computers.

    The good news is it now works. The bad news is I have no idea how to properly fix this issue in the future.

      If you have a backup of the original non-working perl64 folder, you could compare it with the working perl64 folder using a program that can compare folders, like WinDiff, or WinMerge.
      Then you'd copy different files files that are different or missing, one at a time from the working to the non-working folders until you'd fixed it.

      After that you should delete the "fixed" (previously non-working, but now working) perl64 folder as some modules would be in a half-installed mess. Then do a proper install of perl64 and apply the info you learnt when you fixed it.


      UPDATE: corrected ambiguity in my English:
      s/different files/files that are different or missing/
