Re^3: Using Sendmail.pm problem

There's no point in trying to "tweak something in the perl module" as the Perl module is almost certainly not being loaded successfully. The problem is not with the module, it is with how you installed the module and how your are subsequently trying to load it.

If it works on another server then perhaps the sysadmin on that other server has already installed it, so your broken attempt to change @INC is having no effect.

Try running this from the command line of the server where it works. This will tell you where the file is being loaded from:

perl -MMail::Sendmail -le 'print $INC{"Mail/Sendmail.pm"}'

Is this an exact transcript of your shell window (where your prompt is everything up to the `=>`): `gmitest1@mckinley..gmdwit: /home/gmitest1/juice/scripts => Mail/Sendmail.pm` If so, you're giving the Perl module name as a command to your shell, which would explain all the error messages: the shell is trying to execute the package declaration and the POD inside the PM file. As davorg has mentioned, you really need to use the proper installation tools to make this work. Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Is this on the working server or the broken server? Looks a bit strange anyway. Looks like your shell is trying to execute a Perl module. Something is definitely broken there. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
