Re: pp/prima problem

There are two modules out there Prima::Buttons and Tk::Button
Be sure you have installed what you need
Just

ppm> install Prima::Buttons
ppm> install Tk::Button
[download]

If the answer is 'the module is allready installed' then you have the modules.
But if you say that you get 'Can't locate Prima/Buttons.pm in @INC' then probably you don't have it.
Or you do but in the wrong location. Do a file search for it and if you do have it then use on top of your script

push (@INC, "/location/of/module");

But this is not the right solution. The right one is to install it in the right location, where every module is.

Thanks for the replies. The modules are all installed ok because the scripts work correctly from the command box and also when I execute them in Eclipse. It's a pp related problem - here's the full error message: `C:\DOCUME~1\STEVE\MYDOCU~1\JAVA\ECLIPSE\ECLIPSE\WORKSP~1\PERLTEST>a.ex +e Can't locate Prima/Buttons.pm in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0xcb9f60) C +ODE(0xda9a b8) .) at (eval 48) line 1.

Does "@INC contains: CODE(0xcb9..." suggest that @INC is being corrupted when the exe fires up? No. It's a way to have smart libraries: by including a callback (a code ref) in @INC. See require: You can also insert hooks into the import facility, by putting directly Perl code into the @INC array. There are three forms of hooks: subroutine references, array references and blessed objects. (You can read the rest there.) What happens, is IMO that pp didn't know that Prima::Buttons is needed, so it didn't include it. Probably, that happens because the module gets required dynamically, I guess it could likely happen with `DBD::*` modules for DBI, too. See the docs for pp, command line option `-M`: `% pp -M Foo::Bar hello # Extra modules in the include path` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
