Hi, I am new to Perl and have inherited a Perl module that currently runs fine on a HP Unix box with Perl 5.6.1. This Perl module uses Soap::Lite and HTTP: Cookies Perl packages and makes a call to a web service by passing in a xml message. I am trying to port this on a Linux with Red Hat 4.6 and Perl 5.8.6 already installed on the box and having a lot of difficulties in doing so.
When I tried to test this module, it complained about certain missing libraries messages similar to below:

fault_code -1 Can't locate HTML/HeadParser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/perl5/lib/5.8.6/i686-linux /opt/perl5/lib/5.8.6 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.6 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl .) at /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/LWP/Protocol.pm line 47. Compilation failed in require at /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/LWP/UserAgent.pm line 103.

To fix these, I downloaded the 5.8 version of

LWP package and LWP.pm

HTTP/config.pm

from CPAN and then copied these over. Our old server has these libraries already installed but with 5.6.1 Perl. Now I am running into another error

fault_code -1 500 Usage: $h->push_header($field, $val) at /opt/perl5/lib/5.8.6/MatcherClient.pm line 338

When I tried to step through the code, it goes through numerous lines of code and throws error at

[mSOAP::Trace::defaultlog(/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/SOAP/Lite.pm:2388):

2388: printf STDERR "%s: %s\n", $caller, $msg; [4m DB<80> [m [1m

I am not sure what exactly is causing this. Can someone please help? Thanks
