I'm trying to use a Perl module from CPAN (AuthCookieDBI.pm to be specific) in a shared hosting environment. I tried copying the .pm file to the directory I'm trying to use it with, and I have updated my .htaccess file as per the instructions on the AuthCookieDBI page, but my Apache log says: Invalid command 'PerlModule', perhaps missp...

I am installing dependancies for Koha. This is requiring perl and cpan usage, of which this is my first time. I installed mysql via the hivelogic instructions. I am running 10.6.2 on a 32bit mac mini. Here is the terminal output: John-Breedloves-Mac-mini:~ john_breedlove$ sudo -H cpan -i DBD::mysql CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.19) Goin...

When I need a Perl module, I typically use CPAN. It works fine. But not this time. I want to use MARC::Charset, but this one uses GDBM_File, and I can't seem to install GDBM_File from CPAN. CPAN finds it all right, but trying to install it, it starts installing the full Perl 5.10.1 distribution. MARC::Charset is a rather old module, s...
I'm integrating with some existing, "legacy" Perl code for my current project. I'm downloading some libraries via CPAN to use in a Perl script, but I would like to avoid having all the other developers/users install these libraries manually. Taking a page from my Ruby/Rails background, I thought it might be possible to "unpack" the dep...
On Server Fault, How to list symbolic link chains? (not my question) talks about listing all the symbolic links and following them. To make this doable, let's consider a single directory at first. I want to write a short utility that does this. It looks easy to put pairs from symbolic links into a hash and then process the hash. But ...

Supposing I have one perl in /usr/bin (which came along with my os-distribution) and another one (build form the source) in /usr/local/bin – is there a simple way to make a module available to both perl-installations with only one cpan; install module-name? ...
I find the following anti-pattern repeated in my Perl scripts: the script contains some machine/setup specific settings which I store in-line as constants in the script whereas the rest of the script is general in nature: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; # machine specific settings at the start of the script. my $SETTING_1 = ...
Can you please tell me the steps I need to follow in order to obtain an account on CPAN? I'd like to contribute some modules. A while back, I tried to create an account, and I remember I got back a mail containing some of this text: The following links are only valid for PAUSE maintainers: and there were 2 links : Registration form wi...
Hello! When I installed perl from the source the first nice surprise was that without doing something all module installed from now on were available to the new perl. Since I didn't find one module on cpan that comes with my OS I have to use for some scripts the onboard-perl. For one of these scripts I would like to install Text::Format ...
I just want to transfer (send or receive) a hash from client to server. Can you tell me which is a preferable way in Perl or can you suggest any CPAN modules? ...
I am trying to install Lingua::Lid onto a unix system (ubuntu, latest version). Of course I am root.

How can I prevent double encoding of html entities, or fix them programmatically? I am using the encode() function from the HTML::Entities perl module to encode HTML entities in user input. The problem here is that we also allow users to input HTML entities directly and these entities end up being double encoded. For example, a user ma...
