Hi every body,

myproxy.pl
use strict;
use warnings;

use HTTP::Proxy;
use HTTP::Recorder;

my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new();

# create a new HTTP::Recorder object
my $agent = new HTTP::Recorder;

# set the log file (optional)
$agent->file("C:\\Temp\\myfile");

# set HTTP::Recorder as the agent for the proxy
$proxy->agent( $agent );

# start the proxy
$proxy->start();

Following compilation error i am getting.

D:\perl programs>myproxy.pl Can't locate HTTP/Proxy.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at D:\perl programs\myproxy.pl line 4. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at D:\perl programs\myproxy.pl line 4

Super short answer: HTTP::Proxy is not in your include path. Longer answer: This may mean it is not installed or that it is simply installed to a location not in the `@INC` list. If it is installed to a location not in the `@INC` list, you can either set `PERL5LIB` to point to the non-standard install location or you can put `use lib "/path/to/nonstandard/install/location/";` [download] immediately after the `use strict; use warnings;` block.

Thanks for inputs. I am working on windows OS. I have successfully installed http::recorder module downloaded from http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/. But i did n't find HTTP::Proxy module in http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/. I found HTTP::Proxy module at CPAN and i installed using the following steps perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake test nmake install The following error shown once the myproxy.pl file run. D:\perl programs>myproxy.pl Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at C:/Perl/site/lib/Email/MIME .pm line 90. Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at C:/Perl/site/lib/Email/MIME .pm line 90. Can't locate object method "query_param" via package "YMSG" (perhaps you forgot to load "YMSG"?) at C:/Perl/site/lib/HTTP/Recorder.pm line 347. Then I Installed NET-YMSG module to overcome this. Still the same error shown. can any body help me to overcome these problems. Thanks in advance	[reply]
