Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using PAR, and several cgi scripts in a folder, my problem is if i want to send my scripts through email and wanted somebody else to open it in another computer. What should I do with the @INC, the module I use in c:/perl/lib and c:/perl/site/lib ?

janitored by ybiC: Retitle from less-than-descriptive "@inc", as one-word nodetitles hinder site search

    The better way to create a simple script which will check all dependences and install missing modules: 

    my $list_modules = { 'SOAP::Lite' => '0.60', 'Time::Local' => ''};
for my $module (@$list_modules) {       
        eval "use $module $list_modules->{$module}";
        if($@) {
                my $error = $@;
                $error =~ s/\n(.*)$//s;
                print "Not found!!!\n";
                print "\t$error\n" if $error =~ /this is only/;
                if($install) {                        
                        CPAN::Shell->install($module, $list_modules->{
+$module});
                }
        } else { print "Ok\n" }
}

    This works correct under Linux (I mean install modules). Maybe you should find another way for Windows if it won't work.

    It's only my opinion and it doesn't have pretensions of absoluteness!

    Do you expect the recipients to have these modules or do you want to mail the modules to them too?
[reply]
      if I email the module too, will it work? I wouldn't know his/her @INC and he/she might not know how to put in his/her computer @INC

      TQ

        Just include the .pm files in the same directory and inlude the current direcotry "." in @INC. You can use -I like in this example: 
        #!/usr/bin/perl -w -I.

use MyModule.pm # in the same dir as this script
