Re: perl lost its modules!

hmm shooting in the dark:

which permissions does the directory /usr/share/perl5 have?

does use lib '/usr/share/perl5' help?

could you try printing @INC within a BEGIN block to exclude weird settings which only apply afterwards?

`ls -l /usr/share \| grep perl5 drwxr-xr-x. 49 root root 4096 Mar 31 18:40 perl5` [download] I don't see how it's a system permissions issue. As user, I can cat the file made a small test script: `$ cat perl-test.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use lib '/usr/share/perl5'; use strict; print "ok"; $ chmod +x perl-test.pl $ ./perl-test.pl Can't locate lib.pm: Permission denied at ./perl-test.pl line 2. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./perl-test.pl line 2.` [download] Not sure what you mean by printing @INC in a BEGIN block, but I sure don't know how.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

> I don't see how it's a system permissions issue. As user, I can cat the file Directory permissions distinguish between accessing files and reading the directory. If Perl can't read the dir then it can't find the modules, while it's still possible to access the files by full path. Anyway it seems boftx already found the solution further down. :) Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language)	[reply]
