in reply to Re: Re: Error::Simple
in thread use Error::Simple - can't be found in @INC

Have you tried the code above? If it doesn't work I shall be quite surprised, and would also like to see the exact code used and the exact error message produced.
I will also add that I ran a search on my perl directories and could find only Error.pm and not Error/Simple.pm
The Error::Simple package is defined in the file Error.pm so there is no Error/Simple.pm - running use Error::Simple will duly fail.

    Hi again!

    Here are my scripts, First SomeError.pm 
    package MyError::SomeError.pm;

use Error::Simple;   # the line that shouts
@ISA = qw(Error::Simple);

1;

    [download]
    Now test.pl:
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Error qw(:try);
use MyError::SomeError;

try {
  throw MyError::SomeError('Throwing some error');
} catch MyError::SomeError with {
  print "Caught it\n";
};

    [download]
    And now the error message I get:
    Can't locate MyErrors/SomeError.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/pe
+rl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5

    May I add that test.pl is placed under my home - ~/Perl/test.pl, and SomeError.pm is placed under ~/Perl/MyError/SomeError.pm.

      Right, firstly, Error::Simple is not a module it is a package that is defined in the file Error.pm. So SomeError.pm should look like 
      package MyError::SomeError;

use Error;

@ISA = qw/ Error::Simple /;

1;

      Secondly, take a look at your error message - Can't locate MyErrors/SomeError.pm. Note the 's' after 'MyError', which would indicate that the code you're displaying isn't the exact code you're using.

      Please see. perlmod and Error before going any further.

      Try adding
      use lib '/home/YOURNAME/Perl';
      to the top of your script.
