kosta has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi I know this is a total noober question but I really cant google it around :(
When installing a new module I get :

Checking prerequisites... - ERROR: parent is not installed

when installing Params-Classify module... Does that mean the Params.pm is not installed?
I seriously doubt that cause there is no Params.pm ...


so how do I deal with this? thanks

    parent is a module, which is missing.

    Most likely, the cpan tool will fetch and install all prerequisites automatically for you. You could try typing

    cpan Params::Classify

    or, in the directory with the unpacked Params::Classify distribution

    cpan .
      Thanks man. I got it working
