calivw78 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Trying to index a set of text files using swish3. I believe there may be an issue due to some modules being installed via CPAN and others via package management. I was wondering if anyone could take a look at the output below and see if they noticed any issues. From what I can tell, the perl module does exist, and @inc is indeed looking in the location where the perl module is installed. My novice ways have failed me. Thanks in advance.

I believe that the new perl install for 5.10.1 is whats being used. The modules appear to be there as well. However, compilation errors abound.

    Can't locate DateTime/Infinite.pm in @INC
    It seems like DateTime::Infinite is not installed. Try to install it: 
    cpan DateTime::Infinite

    You're probably missing Rose::Object and a few other dependencies. Here's a Rose::DB bundle. There's 68 dependencies, so have fun.

      You could do away with all those quotes and commas with qw: 
      CPAN::Shell->install( qw(
    DateTime
    DateTime::Format::Pg
    DBI
));

        Thanks. I actually prefer the quotes and commas:).

      Thanks for the pointers. I did the recommended module installs, but now there are errors occurring that I've never experienced (not really a surprise)

      Now, /home/mail-archive/test/* is referencing a directory of plain text files. I'm not sure if that is contributing to the "Bareword" error or not. *sigh*

        Maybe you have an old (or broken) installation of DateTime? At least DateTime 0.70 has these two lines:

        use constant INFINITY     => ( 9**9**9 );
use constant NEG_INFINITY => -1 * ( 9**9**9 );

        [download]

        Also, why are you testing the Perl module/program through "swish" instead of trying to eliminate the irrelevant parts? I would start with perl -MDateTime::Infinity -e1 resp. perl -MDateTime -e1 and slowly work my way up the chain until things fail.
