Total newb here. Please be patient! I'm not an aspiring perl programmer, just trying to get some software running on my computer
I'm using fedora 20
Got a big package of files with a bunch of perl scripts. We'll call them "Validators." The validators rely on a few perl modules that can't be downloaded through yum or cpan. These perl modules come with the validator package in a tarball. the validator instructions say to copy the tarball to /usr/lib/perl5/auto and extract it.I extract the tarball then go back to /usr/lib/perl5/auto then run:

Makefile.PL
make
make test (which fails)


when i try to run the validators, the main program which i'm trying to get up and running, i get a failure in the realm of:

can't locate XML::DOM::BagOfTricks in @INC
XML::DOM::BagOfTricks is a perlmod which was extracted from the tarball mention earlier

Basically I just need to figure out how to get XML::DOM::BagOfTricks to get reckognized by @INC

below is a link to my scratchpad. The top half is the readme for XML::DOM::BagOfTricks and the bottom half is the installation instructions for the "Validators"

nac's scratchpad
here is a list of what is in /usr/lib/perl5/auto:
arybase
attributes B
Carp
DB_File
Devel
Digest
Fcntl
File
Filter
GDBM_File
Hash
I18N
IO
IPC
Math
MIME
more_modules.zip
mro
NDBM_File
ODBM_File
Opcode
PerlIO
POSIX
re
sdbm
SDBM_File Sys
Text
Tie
Time
Unicode
XML
XML-DOM-BagOfTricks-0.05

more_modules.zip is the package i was told to move to this directory. when i unzipped it i got XML, XML-DOM-BagOfTricks-0.05.

as you can see on my scratchpad, the instructions say to do Makefile.PL here, but that doesn't work. The nearest place i could find Makefile.PL was in XML-DOM-BagOfTricks. I did Makefile.PL, then make, then make test, but make test failed.
