If you encounter that error, and POSIX.so is in the right spot, make sure $ENV{PATH} contains the path to the perl binary running the script (File::Basename::dirname($^X) ought to be it -- this happened to me a few times under apache/mod_perl).

When copying files from machine, look into ExtUtils::Installed, ExtUtils::Packlist, and PPM.

When dealing with modules downloadable from cpan (ie, you do the make dance), and you have a blib directory, simply copy that entire blib directory, and do a use blib 'my/dir/where/blib/is' (tar -zxvf Dist-Name.tar.gz blib, and you've got yourself a ppm package, do a make ppd, and you got the ppd file describing it -- you'll need to edit it though)

Or if you're root, use perl -MExtUtils::Install -e install_default Dist/Name to install Dist/Name, assuming there is a blib dir built by ExtUtils::MakeMaker in the current dir.

Try this oneliner 

perl -MExtUtils::Installed -le " print for grep { /Posix/i } ExtUtils:
+:Installed->new->files(q[Perl]) "

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.
