This is confusing - you are writing a perl script but it ends in .sh?
Usually perl scripts end in .pl so that humans know it is a perl
script. I started debugging your script thinking it was shell.
use CPAN::Shell;
# install my favorite programs if necessary:
for $mod (qw(Net::FTP MD5 Data::Dumper)){
my $obj = CPAN::Shell->expand('Module',$mod);
$obj->install;
}
Since you now use "use CPAN::SHell" the expand now works. :)
# list all modules on my disk that have no VERSION number
for $mod (CPAN::Shell->expand("Module","/./")){
next unless $mod->inst_file;
# MakeMaker convention for undefined $VERSION:
next unless $mod->inst_version eq "undef";
print "No VERSION in ", $mod->id, "\n";
}
# ./update.no.version.sh
Can't locate CPAN/Shell.pm in @INC
Perl cannot find the package you downloaded called CPAN/Shell.pm. I
would be you used two methods to get your perl source:
fink and CPAN. If you use fink, fink stuffs things in /sw/, but CPAN
puts things in a different place. (See perldoc -q @INC.)
@INC is a set of perl libraries, only in perl they're called modules,
that you have on your system. You need to make sure that all the
modules that you downloaded are in @INC by telling perl where your
modules live. On my Mac I have perl modules in /sw/lib and in /usr/
lib/perl5/site_perl/ which is where Apple installed them.
Just make sure your @INC includes the CPAN::Shell.pm and you should
be okay.
(@INC contains: /sw/lib/perl5-core/5.8.8/darwin-thread-
multi-2level /sw/lib/perl5-core/5.8.8 /sw/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/
darwin-thread-multi-2level /sw/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /sw/lib/
