Sounds like Perl 4, which didn't have a use function. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]

It sounds like you are using perl 4. Can you let us know what version of perl you are using. If you are using perl 5 there may be something wrong before use CGI;, so please post a short example.	[reply]

Generally it helps if you try to post the line of code giving you the problem, including one or two lines of context on either side. I think you'll find that you're missing a semi-colon at the end of line 3, or that there is some syntax error on that line.	[reply]

Could you post what test.pl is? It'll make it much easier to troubleshoot...	[reply]

Could you share with us the exact script ("test.pl" in this case I'd imagine) that is causing the errors?	[reply]

I am using perl 5 and I am running it on HPUX 10.20, bellow is the code that gave me that error. #!/opt/perl5/bin/perl use CGI;	[reply]
Re: Re: Importing modules by myocom (Deacon) on Jan 16, 2001 at 00:29 UTC
Just to be sure, what does `/opt/perl5/bin/perl -V` result in? BTW, you should wrap your cut-and-pasted code in <code></code> tags to make it easier to read.	[reply] [d/l]

I think anyone having trouble importing modules should probably take a step back from programming perl just now. If you can't grasp this simple concept, how do you seriously expect us to listen to you on PerlMonks? Come back when you have RTFM.	[reply]
