Hello Monks, I am new here, but I do like perl a lot.
help me out
I have a problem with my VMWare ESX 3.0.1 perl installation.
By accident we installed(compiled) perl 5.8.0 with the -de
(default options) and now some scripts do not work anymore like
vmware-cmd, it gives error:
Can't locate VMware/VmPerl.pm in @INC (
/usr/bin/vmware-cmd requires the VMware::VmPerl Perl libraries to be installed.
I have tried copying the file it requires to a lib location, but it wont work.
So should I recompile perl?
By doing perl -V in other server I saw many different parameters.
Is there a way to get the Config from one server and compile using that?

Can I easly reinstall modules by just using the .pm files, how?
btw.My CPAN is not working...
thanks in advance,
