Problems installing Net::Jabber (ActiveState ppm)

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

Hi all,

I would like to install net::jabber module on ActivePerl (i am on winXP ;-()

Using ppm, it goes through the install via pointing ppd but when I start the perl script which begin with Net::Jabber qw ( Component ) ; ) I get the following error "can't locate net/jabber.pm...")

In fact, I only found a jabber.pm in soap/transport... does it make sence ? why jabber.pm doesn't "arrive" in net/jabber after ppm installation ?

As you noticed, I am less than a perl beginner ... just a new user that try to make a perl script running on winxp ;-( !

any advice or help will be very appreciate

thanks in advance

luc

There isn't currently a ppd for Net-Jabber (it looks like it failed prerequisite tests at ActiveState - which may or may not mean anything, they can be finicky sometimes), but Kobes does accept requests (in the ppm section at the bottom of the Net-Jabber distribution page) Update: It's now in the Kobes repository in the link above	[reply]

Super Search is your friend here in the Monastery. :-) Here are several nodes that deal with @INC issues (handy to keep around for future reference, as this issue occurs frequently): Require a script not found in @INC array How to change @INC permanently? How is the default @INC constructed? Definitely, though, take runrig's excellent advice and ask Randy Kobes - I got a turnaround of less than 24 hours on one of my requests and it installed seamlessly. :-) HTH, planetscape	[reply]

Thank's both, I took the net-jabber.ppd displayed at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ it seems to work fine ! luc	[reply]
