Re: Re: Re: Re: A regex question with 2 pieces of data

How do I put the Regexp:Common library on my server? Do I just include it as Common.pm in the CGI directory? The server is hosted by someone else. Please advise.

You could manually download the file and put it in the CGI directory like you said, but the preferred way would be to download the gzipped tarball, extract the contents and run `perl Makefile.PL LIB=/your/perl/lib PREFIX=/your/perl/lib make make test make install` [download] Replace the path after `LIB=` and `PREFIX=` with where you want it installed (probably in some directory in your home). In the script wher e you plan to use the module, make sure to do a `use lib '/your/perl/lib';` to add the path to @INC. Also, if you asked, the sysadmin would probably install it site-wide as it is a common and very useful module. Update Added the `PREFIX` and `use lib ...` bits which I forgot before.

perl Makefile.PL LIB=/your/perl/lib PREFIX=/your/perl/lib
make
make test
make install
[download]

LIB=

PREFIX=

use lib '/your/perl/lib';
