Re^2: Problem running Sample code in Strawberry perl

Thanks Martin for the helo

One Question

Can we load ActiveState Perl & StrawberryPerl on same machine

If yes then is my compiler getting confused as I have loaded both on same machine,

On the CSPAN Client --> of Strawberry perl I typed the below command the output is given below, I think Strawberry perl is recognising the perl

cpan> install Win32::GuiTest Going to read 'C:\Perl\cpan\Metadata' Database was generated on Sun, 13 Sep 2009 10:27:12 GMT Win32::GuiTest is up to date (1.56).

But when I open the Command prompt window and try to RUN the Calc.pl program it gives ERROR

perl calc.pl
Can't locate loadable object for module Win32::GuiTest in @INC (@INC c
+ontains: C
:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at calc.pl line 10
Compilation failed in require at calc.pl line 10.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at calc.pl line 10.
[download]

Now my Question is may be compiler is not able to trace the Strawberry Perl from command prompt so shall I uninstall Active Perl from my machine may be that solves the issue.

Ok, it looks like you are using Strawberry Perl to install Win32::GuiTest then trying to run one of the example scripts using ActiveState Perl. From the command line `perl -V` will give you details about which version of Perl is being run. Strawberry Perl is installed to `c:\strawberry` by default IIRC. You need to address that issue but I think you already had a long discusion about this topic in the ChatterBox yesterday. I can't advise on uninstalling ActiveState Perl from your machine, because I don't know your reasons for having both versions installed. Martin	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I think when launching Perl, it's best to either set up `$ENV{PATH}` so that only one `perl.exe` is found, or to be (very) explicit in specifying which `perl.exe` to use. For example the following will always launch Strawberry Perl: `c:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe myscript.pl` [download] Personally, I have a file `path.cmd` in each directory containing a Perl installation, which sets up `$ENV{PATH}` so that only the `perl.exe` below it is found: `@echo off SET BASE=%~dp0 path %BASE%\perl\bin;%BASE%\mingw\bin;%BASE%\dmake\bin;%PATH%` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks Martin for the help After uninstalling the Active perl now when I run the calc.pl it gives same error `C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop>perl calc.pl Can't locate loadable object for module Win32::GuiTest in @INC (@INC c +ontains: C :/strawberry/perl/lib C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib .) at calc.pl line 1 Compilation failed in require at calc.pl line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at calc.pl line 1.` [download] I think Active perl and strawberry perl both are not getting the path of Win32::GuiTest module ? The problem was solved by following Martin and corion suggestions thanks all for the help.	[reply] [d/l]
