Installing perl modules

[estado3]

Does anyone know how I go about installing perl modules, apparently it can be done on x3 without being root, from the site/software link but I don't see any option for it.

http://70.86.238.114:2082/frontend/x3/module_installers/index.html?lang=perl

Should work from there.

I can't find the module I would like to install, are there any other options?

 

[Corey]

I believe that is it, what is the module you are looking for?

 

[estado3]

The module is www::mechanize

 

[Corey]

What are you using it for?

 

[estado3]

Download updated info
Can't it be placed in my own library?
Is there a way to place a specific module on a user's path when not root?

well looking at the page, there seems to be 453 pages of them. And the one you want is not in any of those 453 pages?

 

[estado3]

Not that I have seen

You can replace the "Mechanize" with other variants that you may want,
http://search.cpan.org/dist/WWW-Mechanize/

Capitalisation needs to be CORRECT otherwise the install will fail.

I have installed it per the instructions above, and have added the code:
my $homedir = (getpwuid($>))[7];
my $n_inc = scalar @INC;
for (my $i = 0; $i < $n_inc; $i++ ) {
if (-d $homedir . '/perl' . $INC[$i]) {
unshift(@INC,$homedir . '/perl' . $INC[$i]);
$n_inc++;
$i++;
}
}



however I am getting an error:

Can't locate WWW/Mechanize.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at

I also tried it with and without the lib path:

use WWW::Mechanize '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm';

Still the same error of unable to find WWW::Mechanize

I installed it as root, see if it works now.
