Re^2: Changing module install path

For example, if I run this:

perl -T -MNet::DNS -e'print "Hello World\n"'
[download]

I get this error

Can't locate Net/DNS.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5
+ /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5
+/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5).
[download]

But if I run it without the -T option it works fine

I think this is because the Net::DNS module is installed in /root/perl5/lib/perl5/ and it should be installed somewhere else. But I don't know how to change it.

Thanks, Kent

See the `-I` command line switch in perlrun, or set `@INC` from within your script (perlvar or `use lib;`).	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The problem is I want to run scripts written by other people and I don't want to have to modify the include path every time. I just need to know how to install modules under /usr instead of /root. Thanks	[reply]

I ended up fixing the issue. The first time you run cpan it asks if you want to use "local::lib" "sudo" or "manual". I chose "local::lib" but I should have chose "sudo". Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to re-run the initial cpan setup wizard so I just reloaded the OS and started over. This was new server anyway so it wasn't a big deal. Thanks for your help Kent	[reply]
