Re^3: Get Semaphore info using CPAN semaphore.pm

in thread Get Semaphore info using CPAN semaphore.pm

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 :-))

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).

Although it's not entirely clear, I think the OP is actually asking about IPC::Semaphore rather than Thread::Semaphore. In any case, both these modules have been included in core since 5.005, so the OP is unlikely to need to install either of them from CPAN. Dave.	[reply]
