Can't locate module

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

Hi guys,

for my internship I have to write a website that combines certain webtools. For a DB-connection, I have to use the Perl API.

Everytime I use the code

use Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry;

I keep receiving the following error:

Can't locate Bio/EnsEMBL/Registry.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .)

I've tried reinstalling Perl, twice. It's also the newest version online. I also added to the PATH-variable in windows the 2 paths given in the error. Nothing of these things worked.

Any help much appreciated!

Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry is part of the BioPerl distribution, which you must install in addition to installing perl. Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

CPAN doesn't find anything (relevant) matching EnsEMBL - maybe whatever documentation or script Aester is using refers to an old/different version of BioPerl?	[reply]

Ah yes, that's the culprit; I searched on CPAN for Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry and got one hit from the BioPerl distribution - I didn't notice that the name didn't match. Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

I did, with the same result. I uploaded a screenshot, perhaps I missed somewhere. `http://img441.imageshack.us/i/screenshotperl.png/`	[reply] [d/l]

Now that's really weird. How did you install BioPerl? Another idea: there could be two perls installed on your system, and you installed BioPerl for the "wrong" one. P.S. pasting text errors as images is detrimental to readiblity; I for one don't like scaled down images of screenshots when simple text would have been enough. Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

You'll need to download the ensembl api by itself. You can get it here: ensembl-api You'll find it in the Bio folder as Registry.pm.	[reply]

If using activeperl you can use ppm. Works like cpan command line but with graphic interface and seems to do dependencies slightly more reliably. Just type ppm on the command line to launch.	[reply]
