Re^2: Syndication-NewsML module problem

It is an ActiveState distro, and I installed with PPM (actually Komodo Visual Package Manager). This is why I'm confused by the error.

As indicated by the error message I posted, it's installed in C:/Perl/site/lib/Syndication/. In this directory is NewsML.pm, and then there is a subdir called NewsML that contains all the associated modules, including the one complained-about in the error message.

The error message also says "(@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .)" I'm not up on all the details of module construction so I don't know if Syndication and Syndication/NewsML have to be in there explicitly or not. I also don't know what that dot in the list means.

Hm. The problem appears to be in the library itself. It's not including its own prefix for the sub-modules. In other words, it's doing: `use NewsML::Node; use NewsML::IdNode; use NewsML::AssignmentNode; # and so on` [download] instead of `use Syndication::NewsML::Node; use Syndication::NewsML::IdNode; use Syndication::NewsML::AssignmentNode;` [download] Probably the easiest fix is to add a `use lib` statement at the top of your program, like so: `use lib "C:/Perl/site/lib/Syndication"; use Syndication::NewsML;` [download] And then it'll find the other modules. It may be worth filing a bug report via CPAN RT, even though it appears the author hasn't worked on it since 2002. Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
