>From low on the perl learning curve (but have read FAQ's and many readme
files) -- still need help.
Situation:
** unix system on Cobalt linus release 5.0 (Pacifica) Kernel 2.216C27_III on
an i586 having perl 5.00503
(ISP advised I can't make modifications to software other site users access.
I should make installationa or modifications in my own workspace. Hence, all
installations attempts are to local workspace.)
* (found script for installing modules in nonstandard places.)
* script for a small database: 1st line after shebang 'use 5.00503;' 2nd
line 'use DBI;' ... won't run
* failures led to series of attempts to install perl modules (Apache::DBI,
Bundle::CPAN, ExtUtils::MakeMaker)
* "Warning: Cannot install APACHE::DBI.pm, don't know what it is"
* on install Bundle::CPAN attempt: "Could not open
>yes/build/ANDK000/Makefile.PL at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/CPAN.pm"
* downloaded ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Installation failed: Typical unix
installation script ...
[esickafus perlmod]$ perl Makefile.PL
LIB=/home/sites/site10/users/esickafus/perl5/perllib \
PREFIX=/home/sites/site10/users/esickafus/perl5/perletc \
INSTALLMAN1DIR=/home/sites/site10/users/esickafus/perl5/perletc/man/man1 \
INSTALLMAN3DIR=/home/sites/site10/users/esickafus/perl5/perletc/man/man3
Can't open perl script "Makefile.PL": No such file or directory
While I plod on, can anyone offer some direction??
Thanks for your cosideration.
