Re: Perl Module Installation

[Michael Barto]

If you have downloaded the module instead of using CPAN, look at the file "INSTALL" in the module. If should tell you what to do: Typically: #./configuration #make #make check         <= VERY IMPORTANT!! #make install But using CPAN is better. There are other issues in the MacOS X for manual installation or modules such as where the modules are install. The manual method may put them in /usr/local instead of in /Library. Be careful. LogiQwest uses DBI.pm for our product which runs in Perl for multiple Unix types. (we develop on the Mac by the way for Unix reasons with desktops). The following link I have posted that might be useful to you for you DBI installation. It is part of our documentation (though it is general for Unix): http://www.logiqwest.com/dataCenter/Demos/RunBooks/EnterpriseView/Docs/DbiDbdInstallation.html But many of the other links on this page do not work.

The one I have downloaded is DBI-1.52.tar.gz I am running OS X 10.4.7 and have never installed a perl module  before. I have found various pages on the net but I don't want to  mess things up so would like to make sure that the tutorial I am  reading has been recommended by some experts! :) I am also assuming that the right directory for my install is System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/ Thankyou in advance, Mo -- Michael Barto Software Architect LogiQwest Inc. 16458 Bolsa Chica Street, # 15 Huntington Beach, CA  92649 http://www.logiqwest.com/     [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel:  714 377 3705 Fax: 714 840 3937 Cell: 714 883 1949 'tis a gift to be simple This e-mail may contain LogiQwest proprietary information and should be treated as confidential.
