I'm trying to "install SGML::Parser::OpenSP" from the cpan shell, but it fails on the first "make test". I also get the same error if I go into the build directory and run make test. I believe this bit of the output below is the relevant part. Note the Symbol not found when perl gets to the "use" line for the new library. The file list...

Doesn't work with other modules, but to give an example. I installed Text::CSV_XS with a CPAN setting: 'makepl_arg' => q[PREFIX=~/lib], When I try running a test.pl script: $ perl test.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use lib "/homes/foobar/lib/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi"; use Text::CSV_XS; print "test"; I get ...

Aside from trying perldoc <module name> individually for any CPAN module that takes my fancy or going through the file system and looking at the directories I have no idea what modules we have installed. What's the easiest way to just get a big list of every CPAN module installed? From the command line or otherwise. ...

How do you find the version of an installed Perl module? This is in an answer down at the bottom, but I figure it important enough to live up here. With these suggestions, I create a function in my .bashrc function perlmodver { perl -M$1 -e 'print "Version " . $ARGV[0]->VERSION . " of " . $ARGV[0] . \ " is installed.\n"' $1 } ...
I've been working with Perl long enough that many of its idiosyncracies have become second nature to me. When new programmers join our group, they frequently have little to no experience with Perl, and it's usually my task to train them (to the extent necessary). I'd like to know what to focus on when training a programmer who is new t...

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good approach to finding all the CPAN dependencies that might have arisen in a bespoke development project. As tends to be the case your local development environment rarely matches your live one and as you build more and more projects you tend to build up a local library of installed modules. These...
Here is my situation: I know almost nothing about Perl but it is the only language available on a porting machine. I only have permissions to write in my local work area and not the Perl install location. I need to use the Parallel::ForkManager Perl module from CPAN How do I use this Parallel::ForkManager without doing a central instal...
I previously asked how to do this in Groovy. However, now I'm rewriting my app in Perl because of all the CPAN libraries. If the page contained these links: <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a> <a href="http://www.apple.com">Apple</a> The output would be: Google, http://www.google.com Apple, http://www.ap...
I'm tasked with replicating a production environment to create many test/sit environments. One of the things I need to do is build up Perl, with all the modules which have been installed (including internal and external modules) over the years. I could just use CPAN.pm autobundle, but this will result in the test environment having much...
