Re^2: Get Semaphore info using CPAN semaphore.pm

I donot have root access on our system. And I got the below error. Please let me know how I can work with semaphores without installing any thing.

 perl Semphore_try.pl
Can't locate Thread/Semaphore.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/perl5/5.
+8.4/lib/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib /usr/perl5/site_perl/
+5.8.4/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/perl5/site_p
+erl /usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/vendor
+_perl/5.8.4 /usr/perl5/vendor_perl .) at Semphore_try.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Semphore_try.pl line 1.
[download]

I have the source code of semaphore.pm . May be I need to try using it directly from IPC , instead of using threaded ones. Please guide me .

try... Installing the CPAN library (and any missing dependencies) into a directory you can write to e.g. somewhere in your home directory, most easily achieved by using `perl -MCPAN -e shell` and then `install semaphore` Modify `$PERL5LIB` or `%PERL5LIB%` to point to the installation directory Re-run your script A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Well I am not autorized to install and there is some process involved and its tedious. Please let me know how I can achieve my results by trying to use the source code for semaphore.pm from CPAN without installing it.	[reply]

Yes, even you can use CPAN (including Re^2: Yes, even you can use CPAN) and/or Installing Modules. But, since it's pure perl, cut'n'paste source as a package and call appropriately (you'll need the dependencies, too). Also: On asking for help and How do I post a question effectively?, for some guidance on Monastery customs.	[reply]
