I've Got the Unable to Run Inline-0.42 Blues

sierrathedog04 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

After making and installing CPAN's Inline-0.42 and its prerequisites (Data-Dumper, Parse-RecDescent and Digest-MD5) I am attempting to run it. I get the error message:

Can't locate Inline/Files.pm in @INC...

I set 'use lib' to make certain that the location of the Inline-0.42 directories is in the @INC. Yet I still get this error message. And what is really weird is that when I search my entire hard disk for a file called Files.pm I do not find one. The Inline directory has a Foo.pm file but nothing else.

I am running Perl 5.005_02 on a late-1990's version of NCRs MP-RAS version of UNIX.

What am I doing wrong?

Well, make sure you're not using the `use Inline C => 'FILE'; __C__ /* C code here */` [download] method. Or 'BELOW', either. Just use 'DATA' and put your foreign code below the __DATA__ line. Or load Inline::Files from CPAN.	[reply] [d/l]
