Re^3: Using a module under VMS

Hi , another AM with another suggestion, try like this

perl -Ivmsdirhere -MModulename -e 1
[download]

If you can't get that working, try

require 'vmsdirhere/Modulename.pm';
[download]

An error should pop, and you should be able to figure it out ... do you have use feature qw/ say /; or equivalent (if thats the issue)?

hah, never mind, just saw Re: Solved - Using a module under VMS case insensitive filesystems and case sensitive programming languages ... strict.pm/warnings.pm checks for this ... but they're important `# Verify that we're called correctly so that strictures will work. unless ( __FILE__ =~ /(^\|[\/\\])\Q${\__PACKAGE__}\E\.pmc?$/ ) { # Can't use Carp, since Carp uses us! my (undef, $f, $l) = caller; die("Incorrect use of pragma '${\__PACKAGE__}' at $f line $l.\n"); }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you for your very interesting suggestion, other Anonymous Monk, but as I said below, I succeeded to make it work. As noted below, while trying to solve the first issue (the path to the dir), I made the mistake of changing the module name to all-uppercase in my `use module;` statement, so that, in the end, once having solve the path problem, the module would load correctly, but the package would no longer be recognized. I have now solved it by putting it back to `use VMS_utils;`. As for the `say`, I am stuck on VMS with Perl 5.8, so that feature does not exists. I just wrote my own version of `say` in the module. The fact that it did not recognized `say` indicated in fact that the package was not being recognized. Thanks anyway for your help. Update: Ooops, I had not seen your second answer when I wrote the above, or probably it was not yet there when I loaded the page and decided to answer.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
