version error

soso_ynak has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

I'm trying to run a perl script on localhost using Hiawatha server on Linux Puppy (ubuntu based).

However, I'm getting the following error.

(The same script can be executed without any problems on the rental server and xampp on Windows.)

Contents of error.log:

Note: that if I run

root# find `perl -e 'print "@INC"'` -name '*.pm' -print

it will return

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.30/Version.pm

so I think version.pm is already installed.

Additional information:

The 6th line of target.cgi is

use Encode;

Note that "Version" and "version" are not the same: Perl is case sensitive. version is a core module, it should be always available, unless your Perl installation is crippled. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

Adding to that, there should not be a Version.pm with capital V. It would conflict with version.pm on Windows, so that module name should not be used. Is there a chance something uppercased the filename by accident?	[reply]

I don't know if the situation was fixed on Windows in the meantime, but to `use` a module with wrong case leads to annoying errors, if `require` works but `->import` fails Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]
