Hello Experts,

I'm having the oddest experience. I tried installing:

cpanm Search::Elasticsearch

And it installed...something to that affect...

/Users/my_user/perl5/man/man3/Search::Elasticsearch.3pm

But of course, this file looks odd, at a minimum because I've never noticed a perl module ending in ".3pm" before.

My code can't find it:

my_user@merlinsdemon-mbp:~$ ./test.pl

Can't locate Search/Elasticsearch.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Search::Elasticsearch module) (@INC contains: /Users/my_user/perl5/man/man3/ /Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.18 /Network/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.18 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.18.4 /System/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.18 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18 .) at ./test.pl line 7.

My code looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use lib qw(/Users/my_user/perl5/man/man3/);
print "Hello World\n";
use Search::Elasticsearch;

# Connect to localhost:9200:
my $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new();

$e->index(
    index   => 'my_app',
    type    => 'blog_post',
    id      => 1,
    body    => {
        title   => 'Elasticsearch clients',
        content => 'Interesting content...',
        date    => '2014-09-24'
    }
);

1;

What is going on with my installation dependencies?
