Hello fellow monks,

This is something I really need your wisdom on, so please help. I have been running into some seemingly exotic errors while installing Perl modules. Here's the latest one.

I tried to install Lingua::Identify (for more details please see my earlier thread http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=842692) and it requires Class::Factory::Util which in turn required Module::Build. When I asked CPAN to automatically download and install these dependencies, what happened was that it downloaded and installed these dependencies in different subdirectories (of the directory pointed to by $PERL5LIB) and these were not present in @INC. Because of this, my module installation was not successful.

I had to manually cut+paste Module::Build to $PERL5LIB and then do the same with Class::Factory::Util and then install Lingua::Identify.

Any reasons why this could be happening?

I will appreciate any help on this. And also if there are any resources that explain module installation in detail (I have read the tutorials on this site), please do send them my way.

Many thanks.

Andy
