in thread Can't Find pod2man When Installing Modules

whereis only searches a few directories for programs, if pod2man were in /opt/perl5/bin (completely made up directory) whereis wouldn't find it. Use locate or find as specified in my previous message to see if you have pod2man installed.

    I tried both locate and find and this is what came up:

    venus:/ > locate pod2man locate: Command not found. venus:/ > find pod2man find: cannot open pod2man: No such file or directory

      The find command should be find / -name pod2man, this will recursively search through the root directory (that is what the / is for as the first argument) for a file named pod2man.
