Suggestion: Show us the code:) If you post an extract showing the use line that gives the error and the text of the error relating to the line you stand a better chance of getting some help. Otherwise, my best guess is cosmic rays:) Examine what is said, not who speaks. The 7th Rule of perl club is -- pearl clubs are easily damaged. Use a diamond club instead.	[reply]

Just shooting in the dark, but this might be a possibility. The name of the module (Foo::Bar) corresponds to Foo/Bar.pm where Foo is located within one of the directories listed in @INC.

Yes, that's true. Foo is a subdirectory of one listed in @INC. Bar.pm is inside the Foo subdir. Is this the proper setup?	[reply]

Here's the `use` line: `use MQSeries::Queue;` Here is the resulting message: Can't locate MQSeries/Queue.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/PA-RISC2.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/PA-RISC2.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl . /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/PA-RISC2.0/MQSeries/) at ./mqlogin.pl line 19. This is, well ... # ls /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/PA-RISC2.0/MQSeries/ Command Constants FDC PubSub Utils.pm Command.pm Constants.pl Message Queue.pm Config ErrorLog Message.pm QueueManager.pm It seems like I'm missing something. I'm fairly new to Perl - not brand new. I would really appreciate any help.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Its a little difficult to be sure as you haven't wrapped the text of the error msg in code tags and so it looks as though some extraneous spaces have been included but... It looks like you have the path to the relevant subdirectory prefixed with './' thereby making this path a relative rather than an absolute path. `./usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/PA-RISC2.0/MQSeries/` [download] If this is true and not just an effect of the formatting, unless your script is being run from root, the values in @INC will not allow the module Queue.pm to be found, which is exactly the error message you are receiving. This is how I have parsed the error message you posted. `Can't locate MQSeries/Queue.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/PA-RISC2.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/PA-RISC2.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl ./usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/PA-RISC2.0/MQSeries/ ) at ./mqlogin.pl line 19.` [download] My apologies if I have mis-parsed it and this is a red-herring.

I've installed this module on SuSE 8.1 (so the paths are slightly different) and use MQSeries::Queue is fine. If you post the code before the use I'll try to replicate your problem. Have you installed other modules OK ? poj	[reply]

Use this to determine weather the module is in the search library for perl. You can add the path of your module in if you need with the `push` command. `print @inc;` [download] And...... `push (@inc, "path");` [download] All the Best, Eoin...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This is exactly what the `lib` pragma is for, except it does it slightly better. That said, you don't have to worry whether `@INC` should be capitalized or not. But it should, anyhow. `;)` `ihb`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
