      when i ran root@web /#cpan Image::OCR::Tesseract the following error message came and it is saying cannot create MakeFile.pl...

        "Found 19 old builds, restored the state of 19"

        Looks like you've tried to install this a few times. You need to start reading the installation notes for modules, I don't keep telling you to do this for my benefit, I learned that lesson the first time I had to install a module. do:

        cpan> clean Image::OCR::Tesseract cpan> install Image::OCR::Tesseract

        I think you may see the error message:

        CPAN.pm: Going to build L/LE/LEOCHARRE/Image-OCR-Tesseract-1.24.tar.g +z Cannot find tesseract executable.
