in thread Apache2::Request - problems installing

i don't have access to internet from this machine so i can't run cpan. but with regards to the local::lib - do you mean that i should try to use this library in my test program and see what happens? sorry. i'm just new with linux and perl so i might be asking some really obvious / silly questions. thanks.

    local::lib, when installed, will set up some environment variables, which will make later installations occur in ~/perl5, not in /usr/local/. Also it will make Perl search for modules in ths directory, so the @INC problem will be solved.

    So, please install local::lib, then install Apache2::Request again.

    Sorry if my advice was wrong.
      i gave that a try but that didn't make a difference. i'm still getting the same error message...
        Did local::lib add some lines to your shell rc file? Are your environment variables (PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT PERL_MB_OPT PERL_MM_OPT PERL5LIB PATH) correctly set when you are trying to build or to run Apache2::Request?
        Sorry if my advice was wrong.
