It probably means that they don't have it installed. You can create your own library directory by putting the files in a directory and adding that directory to your library path (i.e. @INC).
See the lib pragma docs on how to add a library path. http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/lib/lib.html Rob -----Original Message----- From: A Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 1:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: why wont html templates work with perl ??? I have been trying (and trying) to use the code below as I need to use HTML templates in perl, and I keep getting the same error. Can't locate HTML/Template.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at /home/sites/site171/web/ibglda6kekkd/test.pl line 5. This looks to me as though the server that provides the web space that I am using doesnt support 'use HTML::Template;'. Is this correct or have I really lost the plot ????? (Probably both !!!) - If so, what is the alternative. There has to be another way of using templates in PERL ???? I have been told by the company that provide the web space that I cant upload modules - is this true - and can I upload the HTML::Template module ????? >--------- filename = test.pl -------------------------- > >#!/usr/bin/perl > >use HTML::Template; > >my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'test.tmpl'); > >$template->param( > HOME => $ENV{HOME}, > PATH => $ENV{PATH}, >); > >print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; > >print $template->output; > > >print "\n\nINC = @INC \n\n"; > > > >---------------------- filename: test.tmpl THIS IS YOUR TEMPLATE >FILE----------------------------- > > ><HTML> ><HEAD><TITLE>Test Template</TITLE> ><BODY> >My home directory is<TMPL_VAR NAME=HOME> ><P> >MY PATH is set to <TMPL_VAR NAME=PATH> ></BODY> ></HTML> > >__________________ > Thanks for all your help so far - it is really appreciated !!!
