All other module I downloaded from CPAN site are installed using following syntax.
perl makefile.pl
dmake
dmake install


but the Params-Validate-0.95 modile dont have makefile.pl but there is build.pl so I run this file. I have the Validate.pm file located at C:\Perl\site\lib\Params folder in my machine. Also you mention "Do you have Params::Validate in your path?".. does this mean I have to update environment variable with some value.. and with what value?


Please help

What happens when you run the following script?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Params::Validate qw( validate validate_pos SCALAR );

print SCALAR, "\n";
[download]

And this one?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use DateTime::Locale;

print "1\n";
[download]

use DateTime::Locale;
# my code goes here
[download]

Are you using a recent version of DateTime::Locale? Perhaps your version is old and buggy.

As an aside, use code tags for your code. See Writeup Formatting Tips.

Given below is the code line from Locale.pm file
----------------------------------------------
package DateTime::Locale;
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.006;
# Loading this here isn't necessary, but it makes it easier to catch
# syntax errors when testing.
use DateTime::Locale::Base;
use DateTime::Locale::Catalog;
use Params::Validate qw( validate validate_pos SCALAR );
----------------------------------------------------
And given below is the codeline from my application


use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
#use Win32::OLE::Variant;
use Win32::OLE::CrystalRuntime::Application;
# Produce a OLE Variant "FALSE" to pass to the Export method...
my $false = Variant(VT_BOOL,0);

Given below is the code line from Locale.pm file

That isn't the code asked for. Which version of DateTime::Locale do you have and what is your code?

SCALAR is a bareword. "SCALAR" is a string.

You want a string, and => only autoquotes the left hand side.

Append: Ah, never mind; that would apply if it were your own code and you didn't have a constant defined.

do mean I have to update Validate.PM file ?
