Hi Monks,
I had to install the module Test::Simple on Unix machine, so I downloaded it from CPAN and tried to install it. When I gave the command "perl Makefile.PL", the following warning appeared "Warning: prerequisite Test::Harness 2.03 not found at /opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 3.". So, now I downloaded the Test::Harness 2.47_03 from CPAN and successfully installed it on the Unix machine. Since, I do not had permission to install the modules, I installed the Test::Harness 2.47_03 on the ~/lib directory. Now, I again tried to make the Test::Simple module by giving the command "perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/lib LIB=~/lib", it again gave me the same error as before.
How can I resolve this? Do I need to specifically install version 2.03 of Test::Harness or is there any other problem. Please help, I have to install other perl modules also in ~/lib directory only.
Thanks
Akhil
