Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for your time and effort, reading and replying to my question.

I assume the same, in theory I should install the module in order to be able to use it but before I reach this point to post this question Undefined subroutine &main I was not able to execute my code. See question How to create a reusable module with Exporter SOLVED, I still can not find a way to use new modules with the name eg. Net::SNTP::Something without installing them locally. I keep getting the same error if I do not install them:

Can't locate Net/SNTP/Server.pm in @INC (you may need to install the N
+et::SNTP::Server module) (@INC contains: . /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/p
+erl/5.18.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/per
+l5 /usr/lib/perl/5.18 /usr/share/perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) 
+at server.pl line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at server.pl line 8.

For example, I have another module that I want to use named Net::SNTP::Server.pm. For simplicity and demonstration purposes I am using the same code from Net::SNTP::Client.pm with only difference the package name. Sample of code provided bellow:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Exporter;

package Net::SNTP::Server;

use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS);

$VERSION     = 1.00;
@ISA         = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT      = ();
@EXPORT_OK   = qw(func1 func2);
%EXPORT_TAGS = ( DEFAULT => [qw(&func1)],
                 Both    => [qw(&func1 &func2)] );

sub func1  { return reverse @_  }
sub func2  { return map{ uc }@_ }

1;

I am calling it from the server.pl script. Sample of code provided under:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my @list = qw (J u s t ~ A n o t h e r ~ P e r l ~ H a c k e r !);

use lib '.'; # note here
use Net::SNTP::Server qw(&func1);
print func1(@list),"\n";

The error that I am getting is the same:

Can't locate Net/SNTP/Server.pm in @INC (you may need to install the N
+et::SNTP::Server module) (@INC contains: . /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/p
+erl/5.18.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/per
+l5 /usr/lib/perl/5.18 /usr/share/perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) 
+at server.pl line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at server.pl line 8.

So at this point you will say that I am not using correctly the directories. I can not call a module Net::SNTP::Server.pm without installing it on the lib directory, can I?

Thank you for your time and effort.
